Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/8] mptcp: sockopt: info: stop early if no buffer

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@...nel.org>

Up to recently, it has been recommended to use getsockopt(MPTCP_INFO) to
check if a fallback to TCP happened, or if the client requested to use
MPTCP.

In this case, the userspace app is only interested by the returned value
of the getsocktop() call, and can then give 0 for the option length, and
NULL for the buffer address. An easy optimisation is then to stop early,
and avoid filling a local buffer -- which now requires two different
locks -- if it is not needed.
