Thanks Martin. Yes, you're right. A better one is using getsockopt
(MPTCP_INFO) to get the mptcpi_flags, then test the FALLBACK bit to make
sure this MPTCP connection didn't fallback. This is, in other word, this
MPTCP connection has been established correctly. Something like this:

+       optlen = sizeof(info);
+       if (!ASSERT_OK(getsockopt(fd, SOL_MPTCP, MPTCP_INFO, &info, &optlen),
+                      "getsockopt(MPTCP_INFO)"))
+               return -1;
+
+       if (!ASSERT_FALSE(info.mptcpi_flags & MPTCP_INFO_FLAG_FALLBACK,
+                         "MPTCP fallback"))
+               err++;

It's necessary to add this further check after the MPTCP protocol check
using getsockopt(SOL_PROTOCOL). Since in some cases, the MPTCP protocol
check is not enough. Say, if we change TCP protocol into MPTCP using
"cgroup/sock_create", the hook of BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_SOCK in
inet_create(), this place is too late to change the protocol. Although
sk->sk_protocol is set to MPTCP correctly, and the MPTCP protocol check
using getsockopt(SOL_PROTOCOL) will pass. This MPTCP connection will
fallback to TCP connection. So this further check is needed.
