Just to avoid some confusions, this has been reported by MPTCP syzkaller
instances, not by Syzbot. So just not to have people trying to get more
details on the wrong website:

Reported-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe@kernel.org>
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/632

Cheers,
Matt
