commit afaa3f65 (tipc: purge links when bearer is disabled) was an attempt to resolve a problem that turned out to have a more profound reason. When we disable a bearer, we delete all its pertaining links if there is no other bearer to perform failover to, or if the module is shutting down. In case there are dual bearers, we wait with deleting links until the failover procedure is finished. However, this misses the case when a link on the removed bearer was already down, so that there will be no failover procedure to finish the link delete. This causes confusion if a new bearer is added to replace the removed one, and also entails a small memory leak. This commit takes the current state of the link into account when deciding when to delete it, and also reverses the above-mentioned commit. Reviewed-by:
