[PATCH net-next 17/26] tipc: Give Tx of discovery responses priority over link messages

[Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>]

From: Allan Stephens <Allan.Stephens@windriver.com>

Delay releasing the node lock when processing a neighbor discovery
message until after the optional discovery response message has been
sent. This helps ensure that any link protocol messages sent by a
link endpoint created as a result of a neighbor discovery request
are received after the discovery response is received, thereby
giving the receiving node a chance to create a peer link endpoint to
consume those link protocol messages, if one does not already exist.
