Hmm. This adds a MPTCP_HMAC_TEST config variable, and while it is
"default n" (which is redundant - 'n' is the default anyway), it
should likely instead be "depends on MPTCP".

Because right now, if you say no to MPTCP, it will _still_ ask you
about MPTCP_HMAC_TEST, which makes no sense. Even if you were to say
'y', there won't be any tests done since MPTCP isn't built at all.
