Jon Maloy 23998835be tipc: improve address sanity check in tipc_connect()
The address given to tipc_connect() is not completely sanity checked,
under the assumption that this will be done later in the function
__tipc_sendmsg() when the address is used there.

However, the latter functon will in the next commits serve as caller
to several other send functions, so we want to move the corresponding
sanity check there to the beginning of that function, before we possibly
need to grab the address stored by tipc_connect(). We must therefore
be able to trust that this address already has been thoroughly checked.

We do this in this commit.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
