Thank you for backporting this patch, but is it OK to delay it a bit on
v6.13 and older please?

This patch depends on its parent commit, commit 8668860b0ad3 ("mptcp:
reset when MPTCP opts are dropped after join"), on kernels >=v5.19, to
avoid a WARN().

An alternative is to drop the WARN_ON_ONCE() when backporting this to
stable, and only keep the condition here:

  if (!READ_ONCE(msk->allow_infinite_fallback))
