Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/21] tipc: Don't initialize link selector field in fragmented messages

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

Eliminates code that sets the link selector field in the header of
fragmented messages, since this information is never referenced.
(The unnecessary initialization was harmless as it was over-written
by the fragmented message identifier value before the fragments were
transmitted.)
