Thanks to the patch 6/11, the MPTCP path manager now sends Netlink events when
MPTCP listening sockets are created and closed. The reason why it is needed is
explained in the linked ticket [1]:

  MPTCP for Linux, when not using the in-kernel PM, depends on the userspace PM
  to create extra listening sockets before announcing addresses and ports. Let's
  call these "PM listeners".

  With the existing MPTCP netlink events, a userspace PM can create PM listeners
  at startup time, or in response to an incoming connection. Creating sockets in
  response to connections is not optimal: ADD_ADDRs can't be sent until the
  sockets are created and listen()ed, and if all connections are closed then it
  may not be clear to the userspace PM daemon that PM listener sockets should be
  cleaned up.

  Hence this feature request: to add MPTCP netlink events for listening socket
  close & create, so PM listening sockets can be managed based on application
  activity.

Selftests for these new Netlink events have been added in patches 9,11/11.

The remaining patches introduce different cleanups and small improvements in
MPTCP selftests to ease the maintenance and the addition of new tests.
