Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix wrong return value from function
tipc_node_try_addr()
The function for checking if there is an node address conflict is
supposed to return a suggestion for a new address if it finds a
conflict, and zero otherwise. But in case the peer being checked
is previously unknown it does instead return a "suggestion" for
the checked address itself. This results in a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG
being sent unecessarily to the peer, and sometimes makes the trial
period starting over again.
Fixes: 25b0b9c4e835 ("tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values")
