tipc: correctly unlink packets from deferred packet queue
When we pull a received packet from a link's 'deferred packets' queue
for processing, its 'next' pointer is not cleared, and still refers to
the next packet in that queue, if any. This is incorrect, but caused
no harm before commit 40ba3cdf542a469aaa9083fa041656e59b109b90 ("tipc:
message reassembly using fragment chain") was introduced. After that
commit, it may sometimes lead to the following oops:

 <EOI>

This happens when the last fragment of a message has passed through the
the receiving link's 'deferred packets' queue, and at least one other
packet was added to that queue while it was there. After the fragment
chain with the complete message has been successfully delivered to the
receiving socket, it is released. Since 'next' pointer of the last
fragment in the released chain now is non-NULL, we get the crash shown
above.

We fix this by clearing the 'next' pointer of all received packets,
including those being pulled from the 'deferred' queue, before they
undergo any further processing.
