tipc: move fragment importance field to new header position
In commit e3eea1eb47a ("tipc: clean up handling of message priorities") we introduced a field in the packet header for keeping track of the priority of fragments, since this value is not present in the specified protocol header. Since the value so far only is used at the transmitting end of the link, we have not yet officially defined it as part of the protocol. Unfortunately, the field we use for keeping this value, bits 13-15 in in word 5, has turned out to be a poor choice; it is already used by the broadcast protocol for carrying the 'network id' field of the sending node. Since packet fragments also need to be transported across the broadcast protocol, the risk of conflict is obvious, and we see this happen when we use network identities larger than 2^13-1. This has escaped our testing because we have so far only been using small network id values. We now move this field to bits 0-2 in word 9, a field that is guaranteed to be unused by all involved protocols.
