Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/20] tipc: Convert fatal broadcast sanity check to non-fatal check

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

Modifies the existing broadcast link sanity check that detects an
attempt to send a message off-node when there are no available
destinations so that it no longer causes a kernel panic; instead,
the check now issues a warning and stack trace and then returns
without sending the message anywhere.
