Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/15] tipc: improve the link deferred queue insertion algorithm

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

Re-code the algorithm for inserting an out-of-sequence message into
a unicast or broadcast link's deferred message queue.  It remains
functionally equivalent but should be easier to understand/maintain.
