ocfs2: Reconnect after idle time out.
Currently, o2net connects to a node on hb_up and disconnects on hb_down and net timeout. It disconnects on net timeout is ok, but it should attempt to reconnect back. This is because sometimes nodes get overloaded enough that the network connection breaks but the disk hb does not. And if we get into that situation, we either fence (unnecessarily) or wait for its disk hb to die (and sometimes hang in the process). So in this updated scheme, when the network disconnects, we keep attempting to reconnect till we succeed or we get a disk hb down event. If the other node is really dead, then we will eventually get a node down event. If not, we should be able to connect again and continue.
