mptcp: check the protocol in tcp_sk() with DEBUG_NET
Fuzzers and static checkers might not detect when tcp_sk() is used with a non tcp_sock structure. This kind of mistake already happened a few times with MPTCP: when wrongly using TCP-specific helpers with mptcp_sock pointers. On the other hand, there are many 'tcp_xxx()' helpers that are taking a 'struct sock' pointer as arguments, and some of them are only looking at fields from 'struct sock', and nothing from 'struct tcp_sock'. It is then tempting to use them with a 'struct mptcp_sock'. So a new simple check is done when CONFIG_DEBUG_NET is enabled to tell kernel devs when a non-TCP socket is being used as a TCP one. 'tcp_sk()' macro is then re-defined to add a WARN when an unexpected socket is being used.
