Jon Maloy 4af00f4cc1 tipc: initialize broadcast link stale counter correctly
In the commit referred to below we added link tolerance as an additional
criteria for declaring broadcast transmission "stale" and resetting the
unicast links to the affected node.

Unfortunately, this 'improvement' introduced two bugs, which each and
one alone cause only limited problems, but combined lead to seemingly
stochastic unicast link resets, depending on the amount of broadcast
traffic transmitted.

The first issue, a missing initialization of the 'tolerance' field of
the receiver broadcast link, was recently fixed by commit 047491ea33
("tipc: set link tolerance correctly in broadcast link").

Ths second issue, where we omit to reset the 'stale_cnt' field of
the same link after a 'stale' period is over, leads to this counter
accumulating over time, and in the absence of the 'tolerance' criteria
leads to the above described symptoms. This commit adds the missing
initialization.

Fixes: a4dc70d46c ("tipc: extend link reset criteria for stale packet retransmission")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
