The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node may still think it has one. The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare. This bug seems to have always been present in the code. Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223f17790419b03eaa962b0e3ecf930d7 ("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"), the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts. We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages, as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.
