Hi Paolo,

If an msk listener receives an MPJ carrying an invalid token, it
will zero the request socket msk entry. That should later
cause fallback and subflow reset - as per RFC - at
subflow_syn_recv_sock() time due to failing hmac validation.
Since commit 4cf8b7e48a09 ("subflow: introduce and use
mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow()"), we unconditionally dereference
- in mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow - the subflow request msk
before performing hmac validation. In the above scenario we
hit a NULL ptr dereference.
Address the issue doing the hmac validation earlier.
Fixes: 4cf8b7e48a09 ("subflow: introduce and use
mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow()")
