[PATCH 6.1.y 2/3] mptcp: disable add_addr retransmission when timeout is 0

["Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>]

From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>

commit f5ce0714623cffd00bf2a83e890d09c609b7f50a 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.

Fixes: 93f323b9cccc ("mptcp: add a new sysctl add_addr_timeout")

[ Before commit e4c28e3d5c09 ("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. ]
