tipc: eliminate redundant buffer cloning at transmission

Since all packet transmitters (link, bcast, discovery) are now sending
consumable buffer clones to the bearer layer, we can remove the
redundant buffer cloning that is perfomed in the lower level functions
tipc_l2_send_msg() and tipc_udp_send_msg().
