Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/20] tipc: Add sanity check to detect rejection of non-payload messages

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

Introduces an internal sanity check to ensure that the only undeliverable
messages TIPC attempts to return to their origin are application payload
messages.
