Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 92b6844279 mptcp: sockopt: fix getting IPV6_V6ONLY
commit 8c39633759885b6ff85f6d96cf445560e74df5e8 upstream.

When adding a socket option support in MPTCP, both the get and set parts
are supposed to be implemented.

IPV6_V6ONLY support for the setsockopt part has been added a while ago,
but it looks like the get part got forgotten. It should have been
present as a way to verify a setting has been set as expected, and not
to act differently from TCP or any other socket types.

Not supporting this getsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY) blocks some apps which want
to check the default value, before doing extra actions. On Linux, the
default value is 0, but this can be changed with the net.ipv6.bindv6only
sysctl knob. On Windows, it is set to 1 by default. So supporting the
get part, like for all other socket options, is important.

Everything was in place to expose it, just the last step was missing.
Only new code is added to cover this specific getsockopt(), that seems
safe.

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.
