Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/14] mptcp: avoid unneeded mptcp_token_destroy()
 calls

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

The MPTCP protocol currently clears the msk token both at connect() and
listen() time. That is needed to deal with failing connect() calls that
can create a new token while leaving the sk in TCP_CLOSE,SS_UNCONNECTED
status and thus allowing later connect() and/or listen() calls.

Let's deal with such failures explicitly, cleaning the token in a timely
manner and avoid the confusing early mptcp_token_destroy().
