Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/17] tipc: fix message importance range check

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

Commit 3b4f302d8578 ("tipc: eliminate
redundant locking") introduced a bug by removing the sanity check
for message importance, allowing programs to assign any value to
the msg_user field. This will mess up the packet reception logic
and may cause random link resets.
