tipc: simplify link supervision checkpointing
We change the sequence number checkpointing that is performed by the timer in order to discover if the peer is active. Currently, we store a checkpoint of the next expected sequence number "rcv_nxt" at each timer expiration, and compare it to the current expected number at next timeout expiration. Instead, we now use the already existing field "silent_intv_cnt" for this task. We step the counter at each timeout expiration, and zero it at each valid received packet. If no valid packet has been received from the peer after "abort_limit" number of silent timer intervals, the link is declared faulty and reset. We also remove the multiple instances of timer activation from inside the FSM function "link_state_event()", and now do it at only one place; at the end of the timer function itself.
