    tipc: Add routines for safe checking of node's network address · 336ebf5b

    Introduces routines that test whether a given network address is
    equal to a node's own network address or if it lies within the node's
    own network cluster, and which work properly regardless of whether
    the node is using the default network address <0.0.0> or a non-zero
    network address that is assigned later on. In essence, these routines
    ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node",
    regardless of which network address the node is actually using.
    
    Old users of the pre-existing more strict match in_own_cluster()
    have been accordingly redirected to what is now called
    in_own_cluster_exact() --- which does not extend matching to <0,0,0>.
