Subject: [PATCH net-next 15/15] tipc: Minor optimization to rejection of connection-based messages

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

Modifies message rejection logic so that TIPC doesn't attempt to
send a FIN message to the rejecting port if it is known in advance
that there is no such message because the rejecting port doesn't exist.
