tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for outgoing packet chain
The list for outgoing traffic buffers from a socket is currently allocated on the stack. This forces us to initialize the queue for each sent message, something costing extra CPU cycles in the most critical data path. Later in this series we will introduce a new safe input buffer queue, something that would force us to initialize even the spinlock of the outgoing queue. A closer analysis reveals that the queue always is filled and emptied within the same lock_sock() session. It is therefore safe to use a queue aggregated in the socket itself for this purpose. Since there already exists a queue for this in struct sock, sk_write_queue, we introduce use of that queue in this commit.
