With a notable exception: __mptcp_push_pending() currently schedule such timer unconditionally, potentially leading to unnecessary rtx timer expiration.

This doesn't cause critical issues because the kernel is only looking at specific ones. But on the other hand, endpoints dumps could tell the userspace some recent flags seem to be supported on older kernel versions. Instead, ignore all unknown flags when parsing them. By doing that, the userspace can continue to set unsupported flags, but it has a way to verify what is supported by the kernel. Note that it sounds better to continue accepting unsupported flags not to change the behaviour, but also that eases things on the userspace side by adding "optional" endpoint types only supported by newer kernel versions without having to deal with the different kernel versions. A note for the backports: there will be conflicts in mptcp.h on older versions not having the mentioned flags, the new line should still be added last, and the '5' needs to be adapted to have the same value as the last entry.
