    tipc: introduce new tipc_sk_respond() function · bcd3ffd4

    Currently, we use the code sequence
    
    if (msg_reverse())
       tipc_link_xmit_skb()
    
    at numerous locations in socket.c. The preparation of arguments
    for these calls, as well as the sequence itself, makes the code
    unecessarily complex.
    
    In this commit, we introduce a new function, tipc_sk_respond(),
    that performs this call combination. We also replace some, but not
    yet all, of these explicit call sequences with calls to the new
    function. Notably, we let the function tipc_sk_proto_rcv() use
    the new function to directly send out PROBE_REPLY messages,
    instead of deferring this to the calling tipc_sk_rcv() function,
    as we do now.
