Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] mptcp: implement .read_sock and .splice_read

This series is a preparation work for future in-kernel MPTCP sockets
usage. Here, two interfaces are implemented: read_sock and splice_read.
As a result of this series, splice() with MPTCP sockets -- which was
already supported -- is now improved.

- Patches 1-2: .read_sock implementation

- Patches 3-4: .splice_read implementation

- Patches 5-6: validate splice() support with MPTCP sockets.
