[PATCH net-next 4/5] mptcp: pm: in-kernel: remove mptcp_pm_has_addr_attr_id

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 07:33:24 EST


There is no need to call this helper: it will check if the address ID
attribute is set, but this attribute has already been parsed previously.

Indeed, the value has been set in 'entry->addr.id' if it was set and
positive, which is what we were looking at. Then only looking at this
already parsed value is enough, not need to re-extract all Netlink
attributes again.
