Subject: [PATCH net-next] tipc: correctly unlink packets from deferred queue

From: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@...csson.com>

When we pull a packet from the deferred queue, the next
pointer for the current packet being processed might still
refer to deferred packets. This is incorrect, and will
lead to an oops if the last fragment have once been put on
the deferred queue, and at least one packet have been
deferred after this fragment. The result of this is that
the fragment chain linked together with the defer-queue.

We fix this by clearing the next pointer for the current
packet being processed.
