tipc: reassembly failures should cause link reset
If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number' field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does not hold true after the previous patch in this series. A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it is either malicious or buggy. Either way, the correct behavior is now to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number. So, this is what we do in this commit.
