Subject: [PATCH net-next] tipc: fix sparse warnings

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

This fixes the following sparse warnings:
sparse: symbol 'tipc_update_nametbl' was not declared. Should it be static?
Also, the function is changed to return bool upon success, rather than a
potentially freed pointer.
