tipc: adapt link failover for new Gap-ACK algorithm
In commit 0ae955e2656d ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput by Gap ACK blocks"), we enhance the link transmq by releasing as many packets as possible with the multi-ACKs from peer node. This also means the queue is now non-linear and the peer link deferdq becomes vital. Whereas, in the case of link failover, all messages in the link transmq need to be transmitted as tunnel messages in such a way that message sequentiality and cardinality per sender is preserved. This requires us to maintain the link deferdq somehow, so that when the tunnel messages arrive, the inner user messages along with the ones in the deferdq will be delivered to upper layer correctly. The commit accomplishes this by defining a new queue in the TIPC link structure to hold the old link deferdq when link failover happens and process it upon receipt of tunnel messages. Also, in the case of link syncing, the link deferdq will not be purged to avoid unnecessary retransmissions that in the worst case will fail because the packets might have been freed on the sending side.
