Subject: [PATCH 3.16 11/55] tipc: fix message importance range check

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@...csson.com>

[ Upstream commit ac32c7f705692b92fe12dcbe88fe87136fdfff6f ]

Commit 3b4f302d8578 ("tipc: eliminate
redundant locking") introduced a bug by removing the sanity check
for message importance, allowing programs to assign any value to
the msg_user field. This will mess up the packet reception logic
and may cause random link resets.
