Geliang Tang a9cf4362d4 mptcp: disable add_addr retransmission when timeout is 0
commit f5ce071462 upstream.

When add_addr_timeout was set to 0, this caused the ADD_ADDR to be
retransmitted immediately, which looks like a buggy behaviour. Instead,
interpret 0 as "no retransmissions needed".

The documentation is updated to explicitly state that setting the timeout
to 0 disables retransmission.

[ Before commit e4c28e3d5c ("mptcp: pm: move generic PM helpers to
  pm.c"), mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list() was in pm_netlink.c. The same patch
  can be applied there without conflicts. ]
