Commit a21a584d (tipc: fix neighbor detection problem after hw address change) introduces a race condition involving tipc_disc_delete() and tipc_disc_add/remove_dest that can cause TIPC to dereference the pointer to the bearer discovery request structure after it has been freed since a stray pointer is left in the bearer structure. In order to fix the issue, the process of resetting the discovery request handler is optimized: the discovery request handler and request buffer are just reset instead of being freed, allocated and initialized. As the request point is always valid and the request's lock is taken while the request handler is reset, the race doesn't happen any more.
