Thank you for the patch, good catch!
Indeed "ptr" should be incremented.

Because this is a bug-fix for net, may you clearly indicate that in the 
subject to help -net maintainers please? [PATCH net v2]

Also, may you add a "Fixes" tag as well as it is for -net ? I guess it 
should be:

    Fixes: 3df523ab582c ("mptcp: Add ADD_ADDR handling")

The rest is good!

Cheers,
Matt
