[ Upstream commit 58b21309f97b08b6b9814d1ee1419249eba9ef08 ]
Since its introduction in commit 892f396c8e68 ("mptcp: netlink: issue MP_PRIO signals from userspace PMs"), it was mandatory to specify the remote address, because of the 'if (rem->addr.family == AF_UNSPEC)' check done later one.
In theory, this attribute can be optional, but it sounds better to be precise to avoid sending the MP_PRIO on the wrong subflow, e.g. if there are multiple subflows attached to the same local ID. This can be relaxed later on if there is a need to act on multiple subflows with one command.
For the moment, the check to see if attr_rem is NULL can be removed, because mptcp_pm_parse_entry() will do this check as well, no need to do that differently here.
