This allows userspace to tell kernel to add a new subflow to an existing
mptcp connection.
Userspace provides the token to identify the mptcp-level connection
that needs a change in active subflows and the local and remote
addresses of the new or the to-be-removed subflow.
MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_CREATE requires the following parameters:
{ token, { loc_id, family, loc_addr4 | loc_addr6 }, { family, rem_addr4 |
rem_addr6, rem_port }
MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY requires the following parameters:
{ token, { family, loc_addr4 | loc_addr6, loc_port }, { family, rem_addr4 |
rem_addr6, rem_port }

This change adds an internal function to store/retrieve local
addrs announced by userspace PM implementations to/from its kernel
context. The function addresses the requirements of three scenarios:
1) ADD_ADDR announcements (which require that a local id be
provided), 2) retrieving the local id associated with an address,
and also where one may need to be assigned, and 3) reissuance of
ADD_ADDRs when there's a successful match of addr/id.
The list of all stored local addr entries is held under the
MPTCP sock structure. Memory for these entries is allocated from
the sock option buffer, so the list of addrs is bounded by optmem_max.
The list if not released via REMOVE_ADDR signals is ultimately
freed when the sock is destructed.

Additionally we can now use the mptcp data lock to protect

relevant mptcp socket.
Keep such map updated at endpoint creation/deletion time, so
that we can easily skip already used endpoint at local address

The endpoint used by the initial subflow is lazyly accounted at
subflow creation time: the usage bitmap is be up2date before
endpoint selection and we avoid such unneeded task in some relevant
scenarios - e.g. busy servers accepting incoming subflows but
not creating any additional ones nor annuncing additional addresses.
Overall this allows for fair local endpoints usage in case of

Stale subflows are not considered active: if all non backup
