Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) e4c28e3d5c mptcp: pm: move generic PM helpers to pm.c
Before this patch, the PM code was dispersed in different places:

- pm.c had common code for all PMs

- pm_netlink.c was supposed to be about the in-kernel PM, but also had
  exported common helpers, callbacks used by the different PMs, NL
  events for PM userspace daemon, etc. quite confusing.

- pm_userspace.c had userspace PM only code, but using specific
  in-kernel PM helpers

To clarify the code, a reorganisation is suggested here, only by moving
code around, and (un)exporting functions:

- helpers used from both PMs and not linked to Netlink
- callbacks used by different PMs, e.g. ADD_ADDR management
- some helpers have been marked as 'static'
- protocol.h has been updated accordingly
- (while at it, a needless if before a kfree(), spot by checkpatch in
   mptcp_remove_anno_list_by_saddr(), has been removed)

The code around the PM is now less confusing, which should help for the
maintenance in the long term.

This will certainly impact future backports, but because other cleanups
have already done recently, and more are coming to ease the addition of
a new path-manager controlled with BPF (struct_ops), doing that now
seems to be a good time. Also, many issues around the PM have been fixed
a few months ago while increasing the code coverage in the selftests, so
such big reorganisation can be done with more confidence now.

No behavioural changes intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
