tipc: buffer overflow handling in listener socket

Browse source 
Default socket receive buffer size for a listener socket is 2Mb. For
each arriving empty SYN, the linux kernel allocates a 768 bytes buffer.
This means that a listener socket can serve maximum 2700 simultaneous
empty connection setup requests before it hits a receive buffer
overflow, and much fewer if the SYN is carrying any significant
amount of data.

When this happens the setup request is rejected, and the client
receives an ECONNREFUSED error.

This commit mitigates this problem by letting the client socket try to
retransmit the SYN message multiple times when it sees it rejected with
the code TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. Retransmission is done at random intervals
in the range of [100 ms, setup_timeout / 4], as many times as there is
room for within the setup timeout limit.
