mptcp: init: protect sched with rcu_read_lock
Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST with its dependence CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT
creates this splat when an MPTCP socket is created:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.12.0-rc2+ #11 Not tainted
-----------------------------
net/mptcp/sched.c:44 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by mptcp_connect/176.
stack backtrace:
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 176 Comm: mptcp_connect Not tainted 6.12.0-rc2+ #11
Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011
Call Trace:

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)
That's because when the socket is initialised, rcu_read_lock() is not
used despite the explicit comment written above the declaration of
mptcp_sched_find() in sched.c. Adding the missing lock/unlock avoids the
warning.
