tipc: clear 'next'-pointer of message fragments before reassembly
[ Upstream commit 99941754 ] If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message, since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this. Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as described above. This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug has been present since 40ba3cdf ("tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain") This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.
