[PATCH 5.9 14/46] mptcp: fix NULL ptr dereference on bad MPJ

[ Upstream commit d3ab78858f1451351221061a1c365495df196500 ]

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()")
