Currently the ADD_ADDR option is retransmitted with a fixed timeout. This patch makes the retransmission timeout adaptive by using the maximum RTO among all the subflows, while still capping it at the configured maximum value (add_addr_timeout_max). This improves responsiveness when establishing new subflows.
Specifically: 1. Adds mptcp_adjust_add_addr_timeout() helper to compute the adaptive timeout. 2. Uses maximum subflow RTO (icsk_rto) when available. 3. Applies exponential backoff based on retransmission count. 4. Maintains fallback to configured max timeout when no RTO data exists.
This slightly changes the behaviour of the MPTCP "add_addr_timeout" sysctl knob to be used as a maximum instead of a fixed value. But this is seen as an improvement: the ADD_ADDR might be sent quicker than before to improve the overall MPTCP connection. Also, the default value is set to 2 min, which was already way too long, and caused the ADD_ADDR not to be retransmitted for connections shorter than 2 minutes.
