If you need to send a v5, please remove the non-decoded stacktrace, only
the decoded one is interesting. You can also remove the 'net-next/'
prefix in the paths. So only to keep 'net/mptcp/protocol.c:4005' for
example.

I wonder if it would be interesting to return NULL if the family is not
AF_INET{,6}. But I guess this will cause a crash quickly after, no?
If yes, probably better to continue returning &inet_stream_ops here.
