I don't see this change in 5.10, so why is this fix queued up?

Crash is not surprising, the backport puts the socket in the 'success' path
(list_add_tail).

I don't see why this is in -stable, the faulty commit is not there?

The upstream patch is:
        list_del(&subflow->node);
        spin_unlock_bh(&msk->join_list_lock);
+	sock_put(mptcp_subflow_tcp_sock(subflow));

[ Note the 'list_del', this is in the error unwind path ]
