At passive MPJ time, if the msk socket lock is held by the user,
the new subflow is appended to the msk->join_list under the msk
data lock.
In mptcp_release_cb()/__mptcp_flush_join_list(), the subflows in
that list are moved from the join_list into the conn_list under the
msk socket lock.
Append and removal could race, possibly corrupting such list.
Address the issue splicing the join list into a temporary one while
still under the msk data lock.
Found by code inspection, the race itself should be almost impossible
to trigger in practice.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
