Paolo Abeni 86e39e0448 mptcp: keep track of local endpoint still available for each msk
Include into the path manager status a bitmap tracking the list
of local endpoints still available - not yet used - for the
relevant mptcp socket.

Keep such map updated at endpoint creation/deletion time, so
that we can easily skip already used endpoint at local address
selection time.

The endpoint used by the initial subflow is lazyly accounted at
subflow creation time: the usage bitmap is be up2date before
endpoint selection and we avoid such unneeded task in some relevant
scenarios - e.g. busy servers accepting incoming subflows but
not creating any additional ones nor annuncing additional addresses.

Overall this allows for fair local endpoints usage in case of
subflow failure.

As a side effect, this patch also enforces that each endpoint
is used at most once for each mptcp connection.

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.
