[PATCH net v2 11/11] mptcp: add-addr: always drop other suboptions

When an ADD_ADDR needs to be sent, it could be prepared if there is
enough remaining space and even if the packet is not a pure ACK. But it
would be dropped soon after.
Indeed, in mptcp_pm_add_addr_signal(), there is enough space to fit a
DSS of 20 octets and an ADD_ADDR echo containing an IPv4 address on 8
octets for example. In this case, the packet would be prepared, the
MPTCP_ADD_ADDR_ECHO bit would be removed from pm->addr_signal, but the
option would be silently dropped in mptcp_established_options_add_addr()
not to override DSS info in the union from 'struct mptcp_out_options',
and also because mptcp_write_options() will enforce mutually exclusion
with DSS.
Instead, don't even try to send an ADD_ADDR if it is not a pure ACK.
Retry for each new packet until a pure-ACK is emitted. That's fine to do
that, because each time an ADD_ADDR (echo) is scheduled, a pure ACK is
queued.
This also simplifies the code, and the skb checks can be done earlier,
before the lock.
Note: also, since commit 6d0060f600ad ("mptcp: Write MPTCP DSS headers
to outgoing data packets"), opts->ahmac would not have been set to 0
when other suboptions were not dropped, and when sending an ADD_ADDR
echo. That would have resulted in sending an ADD_ADDR using garbage
info, where there was not enough space, instead of an echo one without
the ADD_ADDR HMAC.
