when Linux receives an echo-ed ADD_ADDR, it checks the IP address against
the list of "announced" addresses. In case of a positive match, the timer
that handles retransmissions is stopped regardless of the 'Address Id' in
the received packet: this behaviour does not comply with RFC8684 3.4.1.
Fix it by validating the 'Address Id' in received echo-ed ADD_ADDRs.
Tested using packetdrill, with the following captured output:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
