> Restore check to filter out inadverdently received messages
> This patch reimplements a check that allows TIPC to discard messages
> that are not intended for it.  This check was present in TIPC 1.5/1.6,
> but was removed by accident during the development of TIPC 1.7; it has
> now been updated to account for new features present in TIPC 1.7 and
> reinserted into TIPC.  The main benefit of this check is to filter
> out messages arriving from orphaned link endpoints, which can arise
> when a node exits the network and then re-enters it with a different
> TIPC network address (i.e. <Z.C.N> value).
