Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/28] tipc: Remove non-executable code to handle broadcast bearer congestion

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

Eliminates code associated with the sending of unsent broadcast link
traffic when the broadcast pseudo-bearer becomes unblocked following a
temporary congestion situation. This code is non-executable because the
broadcast pseudo-bearer never becomes blocked [see tipc_bcbearer_send()].
