Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] tipc: fix unexpected link reset due to discovery messages

This unexpected behavior is observed:

node 1                    | node 2
------                    | ------
link is established       | link is established
reboot                    | link is reset
up                        | send discovery message
receive discovery message |
link is established       | link is established
send discovery message    |
                          | receive discovery message
                          | link is reset (unexpected)
                          | send reset message
link is reset             |

It is due to delayed re-discovery as described in function
tipc_node_check_dest(): "this link endpoint has already reset
and re-established contact with the peer, before receiving a
discovery message from that node."

However, commit 598411d70f85 has changed the condition for calling
tipc_node_link_down() which was the acceptance of new media address.

This commit fixes this by restoring the old and correct behavior.

Fixes: 598411d70f85 ("tipc: make link implementation independent from struct tipc_bearer")
