The functions tipc_port_get_ports() and tipc_port_reinit() scan over
all sockets/ports to access each of them. This is done by using a
dedicated linked list, 'tipc_socks' where all sockets are members. The
list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each
socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access.

In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get
rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock.

This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use
the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of
bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a
preparation for the complete removal of port_lock.

Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them
to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively.

In the current implementation, each 'struct tipc_node' instance keeps
a linked list of those ports/sockets that are connected to the node
represented by that struct. The purpose of this is to let the node
object know which sockets to alert when it loses contact with its peer
node, i.e., which sockets need to have their connections aborted.

This entails an unwanted direct reference from the node structure
back to the port/socket structure, and a need to grab port_lock
when we have to make an upcall to the port. We want to get rid of
this unecessary BH entry point into the socket, and also eliminate

In this commit, we instead let the node struct keep list of "connected
socket" structs, which each represents a connected socket, but is
allocated independently by the node at the moment of connection. If
the node loses contact with its peer node, the list is traversed, and
a "connection abort" message is created for each entry in the list. The
message is sent to it respective connected socket using the ordinary
data path, and the receiving socket aborts its connections upon reception
of the message.

This enables us to get rid of the direct reference from 'struct node' to
´struct port', and another unwanted BH access point to the latter.

This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code,

When we run broadcast packets over dual bearers/interfaces, the
current transmission code is flipping bearers between each sent
packet, with the purpose of leveraging the double bandwidth
available. The receiving bclink is resequencing the packets if
needed, so all messages are delivered upwards from the broadcast
link in the correct order, even if they may arrive in concurrent
interrupts.

However, at the moment of delivery upwards to the socket, we release
all spinlocks (bclink_lock, node_lock), so it is still possible
that arriving messages bypass each other before they reach the socket
queue.

We fix this by applying the same technique we are using for unicast
traffic. We use a link selector (i.e., the last bit of sending port
number) to ensure that messages from the same sender socket always are
sent over the same bearer. This guarantees sequential delivery between
socket pairs, which is sufficient to satisfy the protocol spec, as well
as all known user requirements.

  could arrive anyway.)

- We keep the conditions for link congestion and connection connection
  congestion separated. There would otherwise be a risk that an arriving
  acknowledge message may wake up a user sleeping because of link
  congestion.

- We can simplify reception of acknowledge messages.

- We rename the 'congested' field to the more correct 'link_cong´.

- We rename 'conn_unacked' to 'rcv_unacked'

code.

As a first step towards simplifying the send path for all messages,
we introduce two new send functions at link level, tipc_link_xmit2()
and __tipc_link_xmit2(). The former looks up a link to the message
destination, and if one is found, it grabs the node lock and calls
the second function, which works exclusively inside the node lock
protection. If no link is found, and the destination is on the same
node, it delivers the message directly to the local destination
socket.

The new functions take a buffer chain where all packet headers are
already prepared, and the correct MTU has been used. These two
functions will later replace all other link-level transmit functions.

The functions are not backwards compatible, so we have added them
as new functions with temporary names. They are tested, but have no
users yet. Those will be added later in this series.

In some places, TIPC functions returns positive integers as return
codes. This goes against standard Linux coding practice, and may
even cause problems in some cases.

We now change the return values of the functions filter_rcv()
and filter_connect() to become signed integers, and return
negative error codes when needed. The codes we use in these
particular cases are still TIPC specific, since they are both
part of the TIPC API and have no correspondence in errno.h

In the function tipc_nodesub_notify() we call a function pointer
aggregated into the object to be notified, whereafter we set
the function pointer to NULL. However, in some cases the function
pointed to will free the struct containing the function pointer,
resulting in a write to already freed memory.

This bug seems to always have been there, without causing any
notable harm.

In this commit we fix the problem by inverting the order of the
zeroing and the function call.
