Title:
  ssh -g has no effect if master socket already open

Status in Portable OpenSSH:
  Confirmed
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openssh package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  From the man page:
   -g      Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.

  When working with a control socket, this works fine if -g is included
  with the initial connect attempt, for example:

  $ cat ~/.ssh/config
  Host *
  ControlMaster		auto
  ControlPath		~/.ssh/%r@%h:%p

  $ ssh -gTfNL 12345:localhost:12345 host
  $ netstat -tln

  tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345             0.0.0.0:*
  LISTEN      -

  $ lsof -n

  ssh       182446        user    3u     IPv4           76397177       0t0      TCP 192.168.0.9:51181->192.168.0.15:ssh (ESTABLISHED)
  ssh       182446        user    4u     IPv4           76397181       0t0      TCP *:3128 (LISTEN)
  ssh       182446        user    5u     IPv6           76397182       0t0      TCP *:3128 (LISTEN)

  and similarly:

  $ ssh -g host
  user@host:~$ exit
  $ ssh -gTfNL 12345:localhost:12345 host
  $ netstat -tln

  tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345             0.0.0.0:*
  LISTEN      -

  However, if it isn't then -g is ignored on subsequent attempts to
  forward ports:

  $ ssh host
  user@host:~$ exit
  $ ssh -g -L 12345:localhost:12345 host
  $ netstat -tln

  tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:12345             0.0.0.0:*
  LISTEN      -

  $ lsof -n

  ssh       182399        user    3u     IPv4           76390396       0t0      TCP 192.168.0.9:51178->192.168.0.15:ssh (ESTABLISHED)
  ssh       182399        user    4u     unix 0x0000000000000000       0t0 76390976 /home/user/.ssh/user@host
  ssh       182399        user    6u     IPv6           76392394       0t0      TCP [::1]:3128 (LISTEN)
  ssh       182399        user    7u     IPv4           76392395       0t0      TCP 127.0.0.1:3128 (LISTEN)

  This doesn't really make sense: ssh should still be capable of binding
  to the correct address as requested.
