mainlining shenanigans

When a bundling message is received, the function tipc_link_input() calls function tipc_msg_extract() to unbundle all inner messages of the bundling message before adding them to input queue. The function tipc_msg_extract() just clones all inner skb for all inner messagges from the bundling skb. This means that the skb headroom of an inner message overlaps with the data part of the preceding message in the bundle. If the message in question is a name addressed message, it may be subject to a secondary destination lookup, and eventually be sent out on one of the interfaces again. But, since what is perceived as headroom by the device driver in reality is the last bytes of the preceding message in the bundle, the latter will be overwritten by the MAC addresses of the L2 header. If the preceding message has not yet been consumed by the user, it will evenually be delivered with corrupted contents. This commit fixes this by uncloning all messages passing through the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), hence ensuring that the headroom is always valid when the message is passed on.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
