tipc: Auto removal of peer down node instance
A peer node is considered down if there are no
active links (or) lost contact to the node. In current implementation,
a peer node instance is deleted either if
a) TIPC module is removed (or)
b) Application can use a netlink/iproute2 interface to delete a
specific down node.
Thus, a down node instance lives in the system forever, unless the
application explicitly removes it.
We fix this by deleting the nodes which are down for
a specified amount of time (5 minutes).
Existing node supervision timer is used to achieve this.
