From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>

Instead of using sock_kmalloc() to allocate an address
entry "e" and then immediately duplicate the input "entry"
to it, the newly added sock_kmemdup() helper can be used in
mptcp_userspace_pm_append_new_local_addr() to simplify the code.

More importantly, the code "*e = *entry;" that assigns "entry"
to "e" is not easy to implemented in BPF if we use the same code
to implement an append_new_local_addr() helper of a BFP path
manager. This patch avoids this type of memory assignment
operation.
