tipc: fix bug in multicast/broadcast message reassembly

Browse source 
Since commit 37e22164a8 ("tipc: rename and
move message reassembly function") reassembly of long broadcast messages
has been broken. This is because we test for a non-NULL return value
of the *buf parameter as criteria for succesful reassembly. However, this
parameter is left defined even after reception of the first fragment,
when reassebly is still incomplete. This leads to a kernel crash as soon
as a the first fragment of a long broadcast message is received.

We fix this with this commit, by implementing a stricter behavior of the
function and its return values.

This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.
