A very small detail related to the modifications in MPTCP code, only if
you have to send a v2 and if you don't mind: may you move "optlen" to
the previous line like it was before your patch 7/24. Same below at the
end of the function.

That would reduce the global diff in MPTCP files to function signatures
only.

Cheers,
Matt
