Hi Jiayuan,

When the server has MPTCP enabled but receives a non-MP-capable request from a client, it calls mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops().
Since non-MPTCP connections are allowed to use sockmap, which replaces sk->sk_prot, using sk->sk_prot to determine the IP version in mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops() becomes unreliable. This can lead to assigning incorrect ops to sk->sk_socket->ops.
Additionally, when BPF Sockmap modifies the protocol handlers, the original WARN_ON_ONCE(sk->sk_prot != &tcp_prot) check would falsely trigger warnings.
Fix this by using the more stable sk_family to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 connections, ensuring correct fallback protocol operations are selected even when BPF Sockmap has modified the socket protocol handlers.

Just to be sure: is there anything in BPF modifying sk->sk_socket->ops? Because that's what mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops() will do somehow.
In other words, is it always fine to set inet(6)_stream_ops? (I guess yes, but better to be sure while we are looking at that :) )
