mptcp: init: protect sched with rcu_read_lock

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

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

   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.
