mptcp_token_join_cookie_init_state() rebuilds the request socket for a
MP_JOIN 4th-ACK that was handled under SYN cookies, but it only restores
remote_nonce, local_nonce, backup, join_id, token and msk from the saved
cookie entry. local_id, request_bkup and thmac are never restored, even
though the SYN path saves local_id and computes the other two.
subflow_ulp_clone() then reads those three fields and copies them into the
joined subflow context (local_id, request_bkup, thmac). Because the
request-sock slab is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and not zeroed on allocation, the
values are stale bytes of previously freed request sockets, which an
off-path peer can influence by sending concurrent MP_JOIN SYNs. A corrupted
local_id breaks id-based path-manager bookkeeping, and a corrupted
request_bkup misclassifies the subflow in the packet scheduler's
backup/active selection.
Save and restore request_bkup and thmac as well, completing the state
restore.
