The following patch fixes the issue on my side (when using 'renice 20'
and stress-ng in parallel :) ):

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240301-upstream-net-20240301-selftests-mptcp-diag-exit-timeout-v1-2-07cb2fa15c06@kernel.org/T/

I queued it for -net, but the issue should only be visible in net-next
due to the reduction of the timeout, as you suggested. This patch can
also be applied in net-next if preferred, it will not cause any
conflicts between net and net-next.

Cheers,
Matt
