tipc: fix failover problem

Browse Source 
We see the following scenario:
1) Link endpoint B on node 1 discovers that its peer endpoint is gone.
   Since there is a second working link, failover procedure is started.
2) Link endpoint A on node 1 sends a FAILOVER message to peer endpoint
   A on node 2. The node item 1->2 goes to state FAILINGOVER.
3) Linke endpoint A/2 receives the failover, and is supposed to take
   down its parallell link endpoint B/2, while producing a FAILOVER
   message to send back to A/1.
4) However, B/2 has already been deleted, so no FAILOVER message can
   created.
5) Node 1->2 remains in state FAILINGOVER forever, refusing to receive
   any messages that can bring B/1 up again. We are left with a non-
   redundant link between node 1 and 2.

We fix this with letting endpoint A/2 build a dummy FAILOVER message
to send to back to A/1, so that the situation can be resolved.
