Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/17] tipc: Improve accuracy of link transmit queue maximum size statistic

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

Enhances TIPC's unicast and broadcast link code to update the transmit
queue maximum size counter in a single place, namely the routine that
adds messages to the queue. This ensures that the maximum size statistic
reported for unicast links is completely accurate, rather than being
partially based on statistical sampling.

The changes to link.h are just documenting the roles of the variables.
