tipc: eliminate unnecessary call to broadcast ack function
The unicast packet header contains a broadcast acknowledge sequence
number, that may need to be conveyed to the broadcast link for proper
treatment. Currently, the function tipc_rcv(), which is on the most
critical data path, calls the function tipc_bclink_acknowledge() to
have this done. This call is made for each received packet, and results
in the unconditional grabbing of the broadcast link spinlock.
This is unnecessary, since we can see directly from tipc_rcv() if
the acknowledged number differs from what has been previously acked
from the node in question. In the vast majority of cases the numbers
won't differ, and there is nothing to update.
We now make the call to tipc_bclink_acknowledge() conditional
to that the two ack values differ.
