Merge branch 'tipc-namespaces'

====================
tipc: make tipc support namespace
This patchset aims to add net namespace support for TIPC stack.
Currently TIPC module declares the following global resources:
- TIPC network idenfication number
- TIPC node table
- TIPC bearer list table
- TIPC broadcast link
- TIPC socket reference table
- TIPC name service table
- TIPC node address
- TIPC service subscriber server
- TIPC random value
- TIPC netlink
In order that TIPC is aware of namespace, above each resource must be
allocated, initialized and destroyed inside per namespace. Therefore,
the major works of this patchset are to isolate these global resources
and make them private for each namespace. However, before these changes
come true, some necessary preparation works must be first done: convert
socket reference table with generic rhashtable, cleanup core.c and
core.h files, remove unnecessary wrapper functions for kernel timer
interfaces and so on.
It should be noted that commit ##1 ("tipc: fix bug in broadcast
retransmit code") was already submitted to 'net' tree, so please see
below link:

Since it is prerequisite for the rest of the series to apply, I
prepend them to the series.
