tipc: simplify socket multicast reception
The structure 'tipc_port_list' is used to collect port numbers representing multicast destination socket on a receiving node. The list is not based on a standard linked list, and is in reality optimized for the uncommon case that there are more than one multicast destinations per node. This makes the list handling unecessarily complex, and as a consequence, even the socket multicast reception becomes more complex. In this commit, we replace 'tipc_port_list' with a new 'struct tipc_plist', which is based on a standard list. We give the new list stack (push/pop) semantics, someting that simplifies the implementation of the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv().
