mptcp: sockopt: info: stop early if no buffer
Up to recently, it has been recommended to use getsockopt(MPTCP_INFO) to check if a fallback to TCP happened, or if the client requested to use MPTCP. In this case, the userspace app is only interested by the returned value of the getsocktop() call, and can then give 0 for the option length, and NULL for the buffer address. An easy optimisation is then to stop early, and avoid filling a local buffer -- which now requires two different locks -- if it is not needed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
