This reverts commit de058420767df21e2b6b0f3bb36d1616fb962032. There is no actual tipc_node refcnt leak as stated in the above commit. The refcnt is hold carefully for the case of an asynchronous decryption (i.e. -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY and skb = NULL is returned), so that the node object cannot be freed in the meantime. The counter will be re-balanced when the operation's callback arrives with the decrypted buffer if any. In other cases, e.g. a synchronous crypto the counter will be decreased immediately when it is done. Now with that commit, a kernel panic will occur when there is no node found (i.e. n = NULL) in the 'tipc_rcv()' or a premature release of the node object. This commit solves the issues by reverting the said commit, but keeping one valid case that the 'skb_linearize()' is failed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
