When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes
run into circular include dependencies.

The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at
the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h
includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed
to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does
not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to,
only their type declaration.

In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any
other tipc header file.

As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function
tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

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

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

When a message arrives in a node and finds no destination
socket, we may need to drop it, reject it, or forward it after
a secondary destination lookup. The latter two cases currently
results in a code path that is perceived as complex, because it
follows a deep call chain via obscure functions such as
net_route_named_msg() and net_route_msg().

We now introduce a function, tipc_msg_eval(), that takes the
decision about whether such a message should be rejected or
forwarded, but leaves it to the caller to actually perform
the indicated action.

If the decision is 'reject', it is still the task of the recently
introduced function tipc_msg_reverse() to take the final decision
about whether the message is rejectable or not. In the latter case
it drops the message.

As a result of this change, we can finally eliminate the function
net_route_named_msg(), and hence become independent of net_route_msg().

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.

In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
  RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
  Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
  saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
  All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
  lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
  and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
  structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
  When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
  its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
  node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
  address to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and

But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold
tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously
this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists
are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing
and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing.

Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the
two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node
is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a
result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be

Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service
when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying
the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing
subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since
the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology
service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and
its subscribers).

This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology
service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need
to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned.

However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing
subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port,
rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was
previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently
withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.)

This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils,
since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID
correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use.

However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out
there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement
by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the
topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.
