mptcp: pm: in-kernel: increase endpoints limit

Browse source

The endpoints are managed in a list which was limited to 8 entries.

This limit can be too small in some cases: by having the same limit as
the number of subflows, it might not allow creating all expected
subflows when having a mix of v4 and v6 addresses that can all use MPTCP
on v4/v6 only networks.

While increasing the limit above the new subflows one, why not using the
technical limit: 255. Indeed, the endpoint will each have an ID that
will be used on the wire, limited to u8, and the ID 0 is reserved to the
initial subflow.
