CVE-2024-53047

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: init: protect sched with rcureadlock

Enabling CONFIGPROVERCULIST with its dependence CONFIGRCU_EXPERT creates this splat when an MPTCP socket is created:

============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.12.0-rc2+ #11 Not tainted

net/mptcp/sched.c:44 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcuscheduleractive = 2, debuglocks = 1 no locks held by mptcpconnect/176.

That's because when the socket is initialised, rcureadlock() is not used despite the explicit comment written above the declaration of mptcpschedfind() in sched.c. Adding the missing lock/unlock avoids the warning.
