tipc: Prevent node object duplication due to simultaneous discovery
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch ensures that the simultaneous discovery of the same
neighboring node by multiple interfaces does not cause TIPC to add
the node into its internal data structures more than once.
