JOIN requests do not work in syncookie mode -- for HMAC validation, the
peers nonce and the mptcp token (to obtain the desired connection socket
the join is for) are required, but this information is only present in the
initial syn.
So either we need to drop all JOIN requests once a listening socket enters
syncookie mode, or we need to store enough state to reconstruct the request
socket later.
This adds a state table (1024 entries) to store the data present in the
MP_JOIN syn request and the random nonce used for the cookie syn/ack.
When a MP_JOIN ACK passed cookie validation, the table is consulted
to rebuild the request socket from it.
An alternate approach would be to "cancel" syn-cookie mode and force
MP_JOIN to always use a syn queue entry.
However, doing so brings the backlog over the configured queue limit.
v2: use req->syncookie, not (removed) want_cookie arg

New MPTCP sockets will return -ENOPROTOOPT if MPTCP support is disabled
for the current net namespace.
We are providing here a way to control access to the feature for those
that need to turn it on or off.
The value of this new sysctl can be different per namespace. We can then
restrict the usage of MPTCP to the selected NS. In case of serious
issues with MPTCP, administrators can now easily turn MPTCP off.
