tipc: improve and extend media address conversion functions
TIPC currently handles two media specific addresses: Ethernet MAC
addresses and InfiniBand addresses. Those are kept in three different
formats:
1) A "raw" format as obtained from the device. This format is known
only by the media specific adapter code in eth_media.c and
ib_media.c.
2) A "generic" internal format, in the form of struct tipc_media_addr,
which can be referenced and passed around by the generic media-
unaware code.
3) A serialized version of the latter, to be conveyed in neighbor
discovery messages.
Conversion between the three formats can only be done by the media
specific code, so we have function pointers for this purpose in
struct tipc_media. Here, the media adapters can install their own
conversion functions at startup.
We now introduce a new such function, 'raw2addr()', whose purpose
is to convert from format 1 to format 2 above. We also try to as far
as possible uniform commenting, variable names and usage of these
functions, with the purpose of making them more comprehensible.
We can now also remove the function tipc_l2_media_addr_set(), whose
job is done better by the new function.
Finally, we expand the field for serialized addresses (format 3)
in discovery messages from 20 to 32 bytes. This is permitted
according to the spec, and reduces the risk of problems when we
add new media in the future.

tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct
After the earlier commits ("tipc: remove 'links' list from
tipc_bearer struct") and ("tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect
struct link_req"), there is no longer any need to protect struct
link_req or or any link list by use of bearer_lock. Furthermore,
we have eliminated the need for using bearer_lock during downcalls
(send) from the link to the bearer, since we have ensured that
bearers always have a longer life cycle that their associated links,
and always contain valid data.
So, the only need now for a lock protecting bearers is for guaranteeing
consistency of the bearer list itself. For this, it is sufficient, at
least for the time being, to continue applying 'net_lock´ in write mode.
By removing bearer_lock we also pre-empt introduction of issue b) descibed
in the previous commit "tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct":
"b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking
bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2)
will become an obvious deadlock hazard".
Therefore, we now eliminate the bearer_lock spinlock.

tipc: relocate common functions from media to bearer
Currently, registering a TIPC stack handler in the network device layer
is done twice, once for Ethernet (eth_media) and Infiniband (ib_media)
repectively. But, as this registration is not media specific, we can
avoid some code duplication by moving the registering function to
the generic bearer layer, to the file bearer.c, and call it only once.
The same is true for the network device event notifier.
As a side effect, the two workqueues we are using for for setting up/
cleaning up media can now be eliminated. Furthermore, the array for
storing the specific media type structs, media_array[], can be entirely
deleted.
Note that the eth_started and ib_started flags were removed during the
code relocation. There is now only one call to bearer_setup and
bearer_cleanup, and these can logically not race against each other.
Despite its size, this cleanup work incurs no functional changes in TIPC.
In particular, it should be noted that the sequence ordering of received
packets is unaffected by this change, since packet reception never was
subject to any work queue handling in the first place.

tipc: simplify bearer level broadcast
Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast
destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to
have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including
a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers
and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is
also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local
broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to
eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped
multicast in the future.
A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full
set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating
how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol
is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the
nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast
protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the
moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the
retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be
acknowledged by the correct set of destinations.
This commit introduces these changes.
