Subject: [PATCH net 3/6] mptcp: fix possible list corruption on passive MPJ

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

At passive MPJ time, if the msk socket lock is held by the user,
the new subflow is appended to the msk->join_list under the msk
data lock.

In mptcp_release_cb()/__mptcp_flush_join_list(), the subflows in
that list are moved from the join_list into the conn_list under the
msk socket lock.

Append and removal could race, possibly corrupting such list.
Address the issue splicing the join list into a temporary one while
still under the msk data lock.

Found by code inspection, the race itself should be almost impossible
to trigger in practice.
