====================
mptcp: ADD_ADDR enhancements

This patch series from the MPTCP tree contains enhancements and
associated tests for the ADD_ADDR ("add address") MPTCP option. This
option allows already-connected MPTCP peers to share additional IP
addresses with each other, which can then be used to create additional
subflows within those MPTCP connections.

Patches 1 & 2 remove duplicated data in the per-connection path manager
structure.

Patches 3-6 initiate additional subflows when an address is added using
the netlink path manager interface and improve ADD_ADDR signaling
reliability, subject to configured limits. Self tests are also updated.

Patches 7-15 add new support for optional port numbers in ADD_ADDR. This
includes creating an additional in-kernel TCP listening socket for the
requested port number, validating the port number when processing
incoming subflow connections, including the port number in netlink
interfaces, and adding some new MIBs. New self test cases are added for
subflows connecting with alternate port numbers.
