tipc: stricter behavior of message reassembly function



The function tipc_link_recv_fragment(struct sk_buff **buf) currently
leaves the value of the input buffer pointer undefined when it returns,
except when the return code indicates that the reassembly is complete.
This despite the fact that it always consumes the input buffer.

Here, we enforce a stricter behavior by this function, ensuring that
the returned buffer pointer is non-NULL if and only if the reassembly
is complete. This makes it possible to test for the buffer pointer as
criteria for successful reassembly.

We also rename the function to tipc_link_frag_rcv(), which is both
shorter and more in line with common naming practice in the network
subsystem.

Apart from the new name, these changes have no impact on current
users of the function, but makes it more practical for use in some
planned future commits.
