Davide Caratti 3f4a08909e mptcp: allow changing the 'backup' bit when no sockets are open
current Linux refuses to change the 'backup' bit of MPTCP endpoints, i.e.
using MPTCP_PM_CMD_SET_FLAGS, unless it finds (at least) one subflow that
matches the endpoint address. There is no reason for that, so we can just
ignore the return value of mptcp_nl_addr_backup(). In this way, endpoints
can reconfigure their 'backup' flag even if no MPTCP sockets are open (or
more generally, in case the MP_PRIO message is not sent out).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
