When the userspace PM is used, or when the in-kernel limits are reached, there will be no need to schedule the PM worker to signal new addresses. That corresponds to pm->work_pending set to 0. In this case, an early exit can be done in mptcp_pm_add_addr_echoed() not to hold the PM lock, and iterate over the announced addresses list, not to schedule the worker anyway in this case. This is similar to what is done when a connection or a subflow has been established.
