mptcp: disable add_addr retransmission when timeout is 0
[ Upstream commit f5ce0714623cffd00bf2a83e890d09c609b7f50a ] When add_addr_timeout was set to 0, this caused the ADD_ADDR to be retransmitted immediately, which looks like a buggy behaviour. Instead, interpret 0 as "no retransmissions needed". The documentation is updated to explicitly state that setting the timeout to 0 disables retransmission.
