If ULP is used on a listening socket, icsk_ulp_ops and icsk_ulp_data are
copied when the listener is cloned. Sometimes the clone is immediately
deleted, which will invoke the release op on the clone and likely
corrupt the listening socket's icsk_ulp_data.
The clone operation is invoked immediately after the clone is copied and
gives the ULP type an opportunity to set up the clone socket and its
icsk_ulp_data.
The MPTCP ULP clone will silently fallback to plain TCP on allocation
failure, so 'clone()' does not need to return an error code.
v6 -> v7:
- move and rename ulp clone helper to make it inline-friendly
v5 -> v6:
- clarified MPTCP clone usage in commit message
