[PATCH 7.1 008/228] selftests: mptcp: join: mark tests with data corruption as failed

7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gang Yan <[email protected]>

commit ca318e7bbb7723f57bcd9e69a2873b5884435552 upstream.

check_transfer() compares the input and output files byte-by-byte using
`cmp -l "$in" "$out" | while read ...`. Because the while-loop body runs
in a subshell (the script sets neither lastpipe nor pipefail), the
fail_test call inside it -- which sets the global ret/last_test_failed --
and the `return 1` both act on the subshell, not on check_transfer().

check_transfer() thus always falls through to `return 0`, and any data
corruption affecting only the payload (leaving the subflow/PM counters
untouched) is silently reported as PASS.

Fixes: 8117dac3e7c3 ("selftests: mptcp: add invert check in check_transfer")
