    tipc: move link input queue to tipc_node · d39bbd44

    At present, the link input queue and the name distributor receive
    queues are fields aggregated in struct tipc_link. This is a hazard,
    because a link might be deleted while a receiving socket still keeps
    reference to one of the queues.
    
    This commit fixes this bug. However, rather than adding yet another
    reference counter to the critical data path, we move the two queues
    to safe ground inside struct tipc_node, which is already protected, and
    let the link code only handle references to the queues. This is also
    in line with planned later changes in this area.
