Subject: [PATCH net-next 17/17] tipc: Avoid reliable broadcast preparation for NACK messages

From: Allan Stephens <Allan.Stephens@...driver.com>

Enhance TIPC to skip unnecessary (and, in some cases, redundant)
preparation work when sending a broadcast link NACK message, since this
preparation is only required for broadcast messages that are sent in a
reliable manner. This change also fixes a bug that caused NACK messages
to be improperly counted as "TX packets" in TIPC's broadcast link
statistics.
