tipc: avoid stale link after aborted failover
During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish contact with its peer when it comes available. However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted; which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished. Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re- establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question. We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.
