    tipc: fix bug in link protocol message create function · f3903bcc
    Jon Paul Maloy authored
    In commit dd3f9e70
    ("tipc: add packet sequence number at instant of transmission") we
    made a change with the consequence that packets in the link backlog
    queue don't contain valid sequence numbers.
    
    However, when we create a link protocol message, we still use the
    sequence number of the first packet in the backlog, if there is any,
    as "next_sent" indicator in the message. This may entail unnecessary
    retransissions or stale packet transmission when there is very low
    traffic on the link.
    
    This commit fixes this issue by only using the current value of
    tipc_link::snd_nxt as indicator.
