tipc: introduce group anycast messaging

In this commit, we make it possible to send connectionless unicast
messages to any member corresponding to the given member identity,
when there is more than one such member. The sender must use a
TIPC_ADDR_NAME address to achieve this effect.

We also perform load balancing between the destinations, i.e., we
primarily select one which has advertised sufficient send window
to not cause a block/EAGAIN delay, if any. This mechanism is
overlayed on the always present round-robin selection.

Anycast messages are subject to the same start synchronization
and flow control mechanism as group broadcast messages.

tipc: introduce communication groups

As a preparation for introducing flow control for multicast and datagram
messaging we need a more strictly defined framework than we have now. A
socket must be able keep track of exactly how many and which other
sockets it is allowed to communicate with at any moment, and keep the
necessary state for those.

We therefore introduce a new concept we have named Communication Group.
Sockets can join a group via a new setsockopt() call TIPC_GROUP_JOIN.
The call takes four parameters: 'type' serves as group identifier,
'instance' serves as an logical member identifier, and 'scope' indicates
the visibility of the group (node/cluster/zone). Finally, 'flags' makes
it possible to set certain properties for the member. For now, there is
only one flag, indicating if the creator of the socket wants to receive
a copy of broadcast or multicast messages it is sending via the socket,
and if wants to be eligible as destination for its own anycasts.

A group is closed, i.e., sockets which have not joined a group will
not be able to send messages to or receive messages from members of
the group, and vice versa.

Any member of a group can send multicast ('group broadcast') messages
to all group members, optionally including itself, using the primitive
send(). The messages are received via the recvmsg() primitive. A socket
can only be member of one group at a time.

tipc: improve destination linked list

We often see a need for a linked list of destination identities,

sometimes both. The currently defined struct u32_list is not generic
enough to cover all cases, so we extend it to contain two u32 integers
and rename it to struct tipc_dest_list.

tipc: adjust the policy of holding subscription kref

When a new subscription object is inserted into name_seq->subscriptions
list, it's under name_seq->lock protection; when a subscription is
deleted from the list, it's also under the same lock protection;
similarly, when accessing a subscription by going through subscriptions
list, the entire process is also protected by the name_seq->lock.

Therefore, if subscription refcount is increased before it's inserted
into subscriptions list, and its refcount is decreased after it's
deleted from the list, it will be unnecessary to hold refcount at all
before accessing subscription object which is obtained by going through
subscriptions list under name_seq->lock protection.

tipc: remove struct tipc_name_seq from struct tipc_subscription

Until now, struct tipc_subscriber has duplicate fields for
type, upper and lower (as member of struct tipc_name_seq) at:
1. as member seq in struct tipc_subscription
2. as member seq in struct tipc_subscr, which is contained
in struct tipc_event
The former structure contains the type, upper and lower
values in network byte order and the later contains the
intact copy of the request.
The struct tipc_subscription contains a field swap to
determine if request needs network byte order conversion.
Thus by using swap, we can convert the request when
required instead of duplicating it.

In this commit,
1. we remove the references to these elements as members of
struct tipc_subscription and replace them with elements
from struct tipc_subscr.
2. provide new functions to convert the user request into
network byte order.

tipc: rename functions defined in subscr.c

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

Before tipc_purge_publications() calls tipc_nametbl_remove_publ() to
remove a publication with a name sequence, the name sequence's lock
is held. However, when tipc_nametbl_remove_publ() calling
tipc_nameseq_remove_publ() to remove the publication, it first tries
to query name sequence instance with the publication, and then holds
the lock of the found name sequence. But as the lock may be already
taken in tipc_purge_publications(), deadlock happens like above
scenario demonstrated. As tipc_nameseq_remove_publ() doesn't grab name
sequence's lock, the deadlock can be avoided if it's directly invoked
by tipc_purge_publications().

tipc: simplify socket multicast reception

The structure 'tipc_port_list' is used to collect port numbers
representing multicast destination socket on a receiving node.
The list is not based on a standard linked list, and is in reality
optimized for the uncommon case that there are more than one
multicast destinations per node. This makes the list handling
unecessarily complex, and as a consequence, even the socket
multicast reception becomes more complex.

In this commit, we replace 'tipc_port_list' with a new 'struct
tipc_plist', which is based on a standard list. We give the new
list stack (push/pop) semantics, someting that simplifies
the implementation of the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv().

the name table lock is held until the transmission of the removal
message of name sequence is finished. During the process, node lock
is nested in name table lock. To prevent node lock from being nested
in name table lock, while withdrawing name, we should adopt the same
locking policy of publishing name sequence: name table lock should
be released before message is sent.

tipc: any name table member must be protected under name table lock

As tipc_nametbl_lock is used to protect name_table structure, the lock
must be held while all members of name_table structure are accessed.
However, the lock is not obtained while a member of name_table
structure - local_publ_count is read in tipc_nametbl_publish(), as
a consequence, an inconsistent value of local_publ_count might be got.

tipc: ensure all name sequences are properly protected with its lock

TIPC internally created a name table which is used to store name
sequences. Now there is a read-write lock - tipc_nametbl_lock to
protect the table, and each name sequence saved in the table is
protected with its private lock. When a name sequence is inserted
or removed to or from the table, its members might need to change.
Therefore, in normal case, the two locks must be held while TIPC
operates the table. However, there are still several places where
we only hold tipc_nametbl_lock without proprerly obtaining name
sequence lock, which might cause the corruption of name sequence.
