Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: pm: don't try to create sf if alloc failed

It sounds better to avoid wasting cycles and / or put extreme memory
pressure on the system by trying to create new subflows if it was not
possible to add a new item in the announce list.

While at it, a warning is now printed if the entry was already in the
list as it should not happen with the in-kernel path-manager. With this
PM, mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list() should only fail in case of memory
pressure.

I think it is better not to backport this patch to v5.10: the
dependencies list is quite big, and the fix is probably not worth it: in
case of memory pressure, we don't try to do more actions (because they
will fail as well).

Cheers,
Matt
