6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit cd7c957f936f8cb80d03e5152f4013aae65bd986 upstream.
It sounds better to avoid wasting cycles and / or put extreme memory
pressure on the system by trying to create new subflows if it was not
possible to add a new item in the announce list.
While at it, a warning is now printed if the entry was already in the
list as it should not happen with the in-kernel path-manager. With this
PM, mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list() should only fail in case of memory
pressure.
Fixes: b6c08380860b ("mptcp: remove addr and subflow in PM netlink")
