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.

While at it, move the parsing after the check linked to the local
attribute.

I did not remove this 'if (attr_rem)' check in v7. I moved this code to
a common place for userspace PM and in-kernel PM. For in-kernel PM,
this check is required.
