TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable
'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to
transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in
the cluster.
When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate
the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as
many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations.
We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does
this.

The socket code currently handles link congestion by either blocking
and trying to send again when the congestion has abated, or just
returning to the user with -EAGAIN and let him re-try later.
This mechanism is prone to starvation, because the wakeup algorithm is
non-atomic. During the time the link issues a wakeup signal, until the
socket wakes up and re-attempts sending, other senders may have come
in between and occupied the free buffer space in the link. This in turn
may lead to a socket having to make many send attempts before it is
successful. In extremely loaded systems we have observed latency times
of several seconds before a low-priority socket is able to send out a
message.
In this commit, we simplify this mechanism and reduce the risk of the
described scenario happening. When a message is attempted sent via a
congested link, we now let it be added to the link's backlog queue
anyway, thus permitting an oversubscription of one message per source
socket. We still create a wakeup item and return an error code, hence
instructing the sender to block or stop sending. Only when enough space
has been freed up in the link's backlog queue do we issue a wakeup event
that allows the sender to continue with the next message, if any.
The fact that a socket now can consider a message sent even when the
link returns a congestion code means that the sending socket code can
be simplified. Also, since this is a good opportunity to get rid of the
obsolete 'mtu change' condition in the three socket send functions, we
now choose to refactor those functions completely.

During multicast reception we currently use a simple linked list with
push/pop semantics to store port numbers.
We now see a need for a more generic list for storing values of type
u32. We therefore make some modifications to this list, while replacing
the prefix 'tipc_plist_' with 'u32_'. We also add a couple of new
functions which will come to use in the next commits.

The functions tipc_wait_for_sndpkt() and tipc_wait_for_sndmsg() are very
similar. The latter function is also called from two locations, and
there will be more in the coming commits, which will all need to test on
different conditions.
Instead of making yet another duplicates of the function, we now
introduce a new macro tipc_wait_for_cond() where the wakeup condition
can be stated as an argument to the call. This macro replaces all
current and future uses of the two functions, which can now be
eliminated.

In commit 6f00089c73 ("tipc: remove SS_DISCONNECTING state") the
check for socket type is in the wrong place, causing a closing socket
to always send out a FIN message even when the socket was never
connected. This is normally harmless, since the destination node for
such messages most often is zero, and the message will be dropped, but
it is still a wrong and confusing behavior.
We fix this in this commit.

In commit 10724cc7bb ("tipc: redesign connection-level flow control")
we replaced the previous message based flow control with one based on
1k blocks. In order to ensure backwards compatibility the mechanism
falls back to using message as base unit when it senses that the peer
doesn't support the new algorithm. The default flow control window,
i.e., how many units can be sent before the sender blocks and waits
for an acknowledge (aka advertisement) is 512. This was tested against
the previous version, which uses an acknowledge frequency of on ack per
256 received message, and found to work fine.
However, we missed the fact that versions older than Linux 3.15 use an
acknowledge frequency of 512, which is exactly the limit where a 4.6+
sender will stop and wait for acknowledge. This would also work fine if
it weren't for the fact that if the first sent message on a 4.6+ server
side is an empty SYNACK, this one is also is counted as a sent message,
while it is not counted as a received message on a legacy 3.15-receiver.
This leads to the sender always being one step ahead of the receiver, a
scenario causing the sender to block after 512 sent messages, while the
receiver only has registered 511 read messages. Hence, the legacy
receiver is not trigged to send an acknowledge, with a permanently
blocked sender as result.
We solve this deadlock by simply allowing the sender to send one more
message before it blocks, i.e., by a making minimal change to the
condition used for determining connection congestion.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.
