Fix TIPC to disallow sending to remote addresses prior to entering NET_MODE

user programs can oops the kernel by sending datagrams via AF_TIPC prior to
entering networked mode. The following backtrace has been observed:

What happens is that, when the tipc module in inserted it enters a standalone
node mode in which communication to its own address is allowed <0.0.0> but not
to other addresses, since the appropriate data structures have not been
allocated yet (specifically the tipc_net pointer). There is nothing stopping a
client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we
attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and
explode. The fix is pretty straightforward. Since these oopses all arise from
the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated
values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert
these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size. All the accesses to
these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups
still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence
anywhere. As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for
those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to
prevent access while their being allocated/freed.

I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported
problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an
obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to
manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode

I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test
with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over. There have been a few
lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as
they didn't actually result in any deadlock.
