TIPC link can temporarily fall into "half-establish" that only one of
the link endpoints is ESTABLISHED and starts to send traffic, PROTOCOL
messages, whereas the other link endpoint is not up (e.g. immediately
when the endpoint receives ACTIVATE_MSG, the network interface goes
down...).
This is a normal situation and will be settled because the link
endpoint will be eventually brought down after the link tolerance time.
However, the situation will become worse when the second link is
established before the first link endpoint goes down,
For example:
1. Both links <1A-2A>, <1B-2B> down
2. Link endpoint 2A up, but 1A still down (e.g. due to network
disturbance, wrong session, etc.)
3. Link <1B-2B> up
4. Link endpoint 2A down (e.g. due to link tolerance timeout)
5. Node B starts failover onto link <1B-2B>
==> Node A does never start link failover.
When the "half-failover" situation happens, two consequences have been
observed:
a) Peer link/node gets stuck in FAILINGOVER state;
b) Traffic or user messages that peer node is trying to failover onto
the second link can be partially or completely dropped by this node.
The consequence a) was actually solved by commit
