[PATCH net 3/3] mptcp: safety check before fallback

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Mon Feb 24 2025 - 13:22:00 EST


Recently, some fallback have been initiated, while the connection was
not supposed to fallback.

Add a safety check with a warning to detect when an wrong attempt to
fallback is being done. This should help detecting any future issues
quicker.
