Jon Maloy fa36882682 tipc: eliminate unnecessary probing
The neighbor monitor employs a threshold, default set to 32 peer nodes,
where it activates the "Overlapping Neighbor Monitoring" algorithm.
Below that threshold, monitoring is full-mesh, and no "domain records"
are passed between the nodes.

Because of this, a node never received a peer's ack that it has received
the most recent update of the own domain. Hence, the field 'acked_gen'
in struct tipc_monitor_state remains permamently at zero, whereas the
own domain generation is incremented for each added or removed peer.

This has the effect that the function tipc_mon_get_state() always sets
the field 'probing' in struct tipc_monitor_state true, again leading the
tipc_link_timeout() of the link in question to always send out a probe,
even when link->silent_intv_count is zero.

This is functionally harmless, but leads to some unncessary probing,
which can easily be eliminated by setting the 'probing' field of the
said struct correctly in such cases.

At the same time, we explictly invalidate the sent domain records when
the algorithm is not activated. This will eliminate any risk that an
invalid domain record might be inadverently accepted by the peer.
