[PATCH mptcp-next v3 5/7] mptcp: enable bpf_setsockopt on the master socket

Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Gang Yan <[email protected]>

bpf_setsockopt() currently cannot be used on mptcp master sockets:
__bpf_setsockopt() dispatches by level to the protocol-agnostic
sol_*_sockopt() helpers, which either reject the msk
(sk_protocol == IPPROTO_MPTCP) and the ssk (sk_is_tcp() is false)
or bypass mptcp's own dispatch (e.g. SOL_IP going straight to
do_ip_setsockopt()).

This patch routes any level to mptcp_setsockopt(), which already
handles all levels.
