    tipc: make bearer and media naming consistent · 4babbaa8
    Ying Xue authored
    TIPC 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media'
    is deemed a specific implementation of a bearer, such as Ethernet
    or Infiniband media. When a component inside TIPC wants to control
    a specific media, it only needs to access the generic bearer API
    to achieve this. However, in the current media implementations,
    the 'bearer' name is also extensively used in media specific
    function and variable names.
    
    This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer'
    with 'media' in all function names, variable names, and prefixes
    where this is what really is meant.
    
    Note that this change is cosmetic only, and no runtime behaviour
    changes are made here.
