tipc: Enhance filtering of out-dated link reset messages
Ensure TIPC ignores an out-dated link reset message whose session number predates the current session number. (Previously, TIPC only ignored an out-date reset message whose session number was equal to the current link session number.) Out-dated link reset messages should not occur under normal circumstances; however, they can be generated if a link endpoint is unable to send a link reset message right away and queues it for later delivery, but the queued message is not sent until after the link is established. Thanks to Laser [gotolaser@gmail.com] for diagnosing the problem and contributing a prototype patch.
