Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 3c7dafc171 mptcp: pm: fix backup support in signal endpoints
commit 6834097fc3 upstream.

There was a support for signal endpoints, but only when the endpoint's
flag was changed during a connection. If an endpoint with the signal and
backup was already present, the MP_JOIN reply was not containing the
backup flag as expected.

That's confusing to have this inconsistent behaviour. On the other hand,
the infrastructure to set the backup flag in the SYN + ACK + MP_JOIN was
already there, it was just never set before. Now when requesting the
local ID from the path-manager, the backup status is also requested.

Note that when the userspace PM is used, the backup flag can be set if
the local address was already used before with a backup flag, e.g. if
the address was announced with the 'backup' flag, or a subflow was
created with the 'backup' flag.

Fixes: 4596a2c1b7 ("mptcp: allow creating non-backup subflows")

[ Conflicts in pm_userspace.c because the context has changed in commit
  1e07938e29 ("net: mptcp: rename netlink handlers to
  mptcp_pm_nl_<blah>_{doit,dumpit}") which is not in this version. This
  commit is unrelated to this modification.
  Conflicts in protocol.h because the context has changed in commit
  9ae7846c4b ("mptcp: dump addrs in userspace pm list") which is not
  in this version. This commit is unrelated to this modification.
  Conflicts in pm.c because the context has changed in commit
  f40be0db0b ("mptcp: unify pm get_flags_and_ifindex_by_id") which is
  not in this version. This commit is unrelated to this modification.
  Conflicts in subflow.c, because the commit 4cf86ae84c ("mptcp:
  strict local address ID selection") is not in this version. It is then
  not needed to modify the subflow_chk_local_id() helper, which is not
  in this version.
  Also, in this version, there is no pm_userspace.c, because this PM has
  been added in v5.19, which also causes conflicts in protocol.h, and
  pm_netlink.c. Plus the code in pm.c can be simplified, as there is no
  userspace PM. And the code in pm_netlink.c needs to use
  addresses_equal() instead of mptcp_addresses_equal(), see commit
  4638de5aef ("mptcp: handle local addrs announced by userspace PMs").
  The code in pm_netlink.c also needs to be adapted because the
  pm_nl_get_pernet_from_msk() helper is not in this version, introduced
  later in commit c682bf536c ("mptcp: add pm_nl_pernet helpers"). ]
