Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) e7757b6d3a mptcp: pm: in-kernel: rename 'local_addr_max' to 'endp_subflow_max'
A few variables linked to the in-kernel Path-Manager are confusing, and
it would help current and future developers, to clarify them.

One of them is 'local_addr_max', which in fact represents the maximum
number of 'subflow' endpoints that can be used to create new subflows,
and not the number of local addresses that have been used to create
subflows.

While at it, add an additional name for the corresponding variable in
MPTCP INFO: mptcpi_endp_subflow_max. Not to break the current uAPI, the
new name is added as a 'define' pointing to the former name. This will
then also help userspace devs.

Also move the variable and function next to the other 'endp_X_max' ones.

No functional 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.
