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.
