tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and link
The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between functions just to make them able to obtain this address. However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead. The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures makes this option even more compelling. In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node() and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node address from those structs instead of having to pass along and dereference the namespace struct. In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c} context independent by directly passing them the own node address as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to keep them namspace unaware. Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow later in this series.
