Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/6] tipc: avoid to unnecessary process switch under non-block mode

From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com>

When messages are received via tipc socket under non-block mode,
schedule_timeout() is called in tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg(), that is,
the process of receiving messages will be scheduled once although
timeout value passed to schedule_timeout() is 0. The same issue
exists in accept()/wait_for_accept(). To avoid this unnecessary
process switch, we only call schedule_timeout() if the timeout
value is non-zero.
