Jon Paul Maloy 7d24dcdb3f tipc: avoid stale link after aborted failover
During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.

However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.

We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.
