tipc: Auto removal of peer down node instance
A peer node is considered down if there are no active links (or) lost contact to the node. In current implementation, a peer node instance is deleted either if a) TIPC module is removed (or) b) Application can use a netlink/iproute2 interface to delete a specific down node. Thus, a down node instance lives in the system forever, unless the application explicitly removes it. We fix this by deleting the nodes which are down for a specified amount of time (5 minutes). Existing node supervision timer is used to achieve this.
