tipc: limit usage of temporary skb list during packet reception

During packet reception, the function tipc_link_rcv() adds its accepted
packets to a temporary buffer queue, before finally splicing this queue
into the lock protected input queue that will be delivered up to the
socket layer. The purpose is to reduce potential contention on the input
queue lock. However, since the vast majority of packets arrive in
sequence, they will anyway be added one by one to the input queue, and
the use of the temporary queue becomes a sub-optimization.

The only case where this queue makes sense is when unpacking buffers
from a bundle packet; here we want to avoid dozens of small buffers
to be added individually to the lock-protected input queue in a tight
loop.

In this commit, we remove the general usage of the temporary queue,
and keep it only for the packet unbundling case.
