Ondrej reported a functional issue WRT timeout handling on connect
with a nice reproducer.
The problem is that the current mptcp connect waits for both the
MPTCP socket level timeout, and the first subflow socket timeout.
The latter is not influenced/touched by the exposed setsockopt().
Overall the above makes the SO_SNDTIMEO a no-op on connect.
Since mptcp_connect is invoked via inet_stream_connect and the
latter properly handle the MPTCP level timeout, we can address the
issue making the nested subflow level connect always unblocking.
This also allow simplifying a bit the code, dropping an ugly hack
to handle the fastopen and custom proto_ops connect.
The issues predates the blamed commit below, but the current resolution
requires the infrastructure introduced there.

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.
