A new series has been recently shared to force a fallback to TCP after 3 failed MPC attempts. If the "plain" TCP connection is a success after this fallback, it likely means that MPTCP is blocked. The next connections will directly fall back to TCP.

That's what is being validated here.

See these tickets for more details:

After 3 failed attempts, there is a fallback to TCP.

I suggest merging these because the new feature is already in net-next, best to make sure there are no regressions later on.
I can always fix issues later.
