The root cause is the bad handling of disconnect() generated internally
by the MPTCP protocol in case of connect FASTOPEN errors.

Address the issue increasing the socket disconnect counter even on such
a case, to allow other threads waiting on the same socket lock to
properly error out.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-21705 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
