tipc: eliminate buffer leak in bearer layer
When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by
calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually
registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very
first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function,
is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore,
the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given
buffer when it cannot find a bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly
one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled.
This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes:
1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let
tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling
function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it
when the enabling sequence is finished.
2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit
functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or
buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.
