GhantaKrishnamurthy MohanKrishna 6a939f365b 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.
