Clearing the 'inet_num' field is necessary and safe if and
only if the socket is not bound. The MPTCP protocol calls
the destroy helper on bound sockets, as tcp_v{4,6}_syn_recv_sock
completed successfully.
Move the clearing of such field out of the common code, otherwise
the MPTCP MP_JOIN error path will find the wrong 'inet_num' value
on socket disposal, __inet_put_port() will acquire the wrong lock
and bind_node removal could race with other modifiers possibly
corrupting the bind hash table.

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 Restructured Text 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.
