Origional commit message:

Allow retransmission of cloned buffers

This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic
that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs.  Originally intended
as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that
were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC
from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the
secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a
set of bonded interfaces.  This fix removes existing checks for
cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.
