Thank you for looking at this!

My review here below is only about the modifications related to MPTCP.

If it is now a NOOP, maybe better to:

 - remove SO_DEBUG from mptcp_sol_socket_sync_intval() and
   mptcp_setsockopt_sol_socket_int()

 - move it just above the "return 0" in mptcp_setsockopt_sol_socket()
with the "deprecated" (or "removed") comment

By doing that, we avoid a lock, plus going through the list of subflows
for nothing.

WDYT?

The rest looks good to me.
