linux: handle MPTCP consistently with TCP
The MPTCP protocol uses a specific protocol value, even if it's an extension to TCP. Additionally, MPTCP sockets could 'fall-back' to TCP at run-time, depending on peer MPTCP support and available resources. As a consequence of the specific protocol number, selinux applies the raw_socket class to MPTCP sockets. Existing TCP application converted to MPTCP - or forced to use MPTCP socket with user-space hacks - will need an updated policy to run successfully. This change lets selinux attach the TCP socket class to MPTCP sockets, too, so that no policy changes are needed in the above scenario. Note that the MPTCP is setting, propagating and updating the security context on all the subflows and related request socket.
