Sasha just backported this commit cfdcfeed6449 ("mptcp: introduce 'sk'
to replace 'sock->sk' in mptcp_listen()") so 0226436acf24 ("mptcp: do
not rely on implicit state check in mptcp_listen()") can be applied
without conflict. Thank you for that, good idea, it works for me!

Please drop this patch here then.

Cheers,
Matt
