Selftests are supposed to run on any kernels, including the old ones not supporting all MPTCP features. One of them is the support of the fullmesh flag for the in-kernel PM introduced by commit 2843ff6f36db ("mptcp: remote addresses fullmesh") and commit 1a0d6136c5f0 ("mptcp: local addresses fullmesh"). It looks like there is no easy external sign we can use to predict the expected behaviour. We could add the flag and then check if it has been added but for that, and for each fullmesh test, we would need to setup a new environment, do the checks, clean it and then only start the test from yet another clean environment. To keep it simple and avoid introducing new issues, we look for a specific kernel version. That's not ideal but an acceptable solution for this case.
