Subject: [PATCH] tipc: set addr_trail_end when using explicit node addresses

When tipc uses auto-generated node addresses it goes through a duplicate
address detection phase to ensure the address is unique.

When using explicitly configured node names the DAD phase is skipped.
However addr_trail_end was being left set to 0 which causes parts of the
tipc state machine to assume that the address is not yet valid and
unnecessarily delays the discovery phase. By setting addr_trail_end to
jiffies when using explicit addresses we ensure that we move straight to
discovery.
