Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: pm: kernel: drop pending ADD_ADDR when removing ID0

The in-kernel MPTCP path manager can leave a stale ADD_ADDR announcement
entry alive when removing the id 0 endpoint. This happens because the id 0
removal path does not tear down pending announcements, unlike the non-zero
id path.

When the PM later reselects id 0 after adding another signal endpoint, it
finds the stale anno_list entry and hits WARN_ON_ONCE(mptcp_pm_is_kernel())
in mptcp_pm_announced_alloc().

Root cause: asymmetry between removal paths.
- Non-zero id path: mptcp_nl_remove_subflow_and_signal_addr() calls
  mptcp_pm_remove_announced() to clean up.
- Id 0 path: mptcp_nl_remove_id_zero_address() skips cleanup entirely.

Fix by making the id 0 path symmetric: call mptcp_pm_announced_remove()
and decrement add_addr_signaled before queuing the RM_ADDR.

Subtle detail: signal endpoints are stored in anno_list with port 0, but
msk_local carries the connection's local port. In other words, entries
linked to ID0 paths should have port == 0. A follow-up patch will ensure
that. mptcp_pm_announced_remove() uses use_port=true for comparison. So
clear the port before the lookup.
