    tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port references · 28353e7f

    This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
    only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
    connection, rather than two.  This is achieved by letting the
    reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
    act as the reference to the subscriber object itself.  (Since
    the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
    this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.)  This
    consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
    in the default configuration.
