tipc: Eliminate alteration of publication key during name table purging
Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact with the publishing node has been lost. Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed. But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different than the old one.
