  - mptcp: fastopen: only mark MPTFO subflows with SYN data Passive TCP Fast Open accepts a valid-cookie SYN
    even when it carries no data. In that case the child socket's receive queue is intentionally left empty.
    mptcp_fastopen_subflow_synack_set_params() set is_mptfo before checking for queued SYN data. That made
    data-less TFO SYNs hit a WARN and, if the warning was non-fatal, left stale MPTFO state behind. The stale
    flag could later trigger a state-confusion bug in check_fully_established(). Only mark the subflow as
    MPTFO after confirming that an SKB was queued. Return quietly when the receive queue is empty. Note that
    mptcp_subflow_context's is_mptfo field is now not just about subflows where the TFO was present, but about
    MPTFO subflow that consumed SYN data. Only having a valid cookie but not carrying data is not really
    doing TFO. (CVE-2026-80585)
