mainlining shenanigans

When user sets RX key for a peer not existing on the own node, a new node entry is needed to which the RX key will be attached. However, since the peer node address (& capabilities) is unknown at that moment, only the node-ID is provided, this commit allows the creation of a node with only the data that we call as “preliminary”. A preliminary node is not the object of the “tipc_node_find()” but the “tipc_node_find_by_id()”. Once the first message i.e. LINK_CONFIG comes from that peer, and is successfully decrypted by the own node, the actual peer node data will be properly updated and the node will function as usual. In addition, the node timer always starts when a node object is created so if a preliminary node is not used, it will be cleaned up. The later encryption functions will also use the node timer and be able to create a preliminary node automatically when needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
