Eliminate the "event_cb" member from TIPC's "subscription" structure
since the function pointer it holds always points to subscr_send_event().

TIPC needs to have its endianess issues fixed. Unfortunately, the format of a
subscriber message is passed in directly from user space, so requiring this
message to be in network byte order breaks user space ABI. Revert this change
until such time as we can determine how to do this in a backwards compatible
manner.

Remove htohl implementation from tipc
I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one:
http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e
I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing.
This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets
for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a
connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to
violate the latest RFC draft for tipc:
http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt
Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all
commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch,
instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to
ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path.
As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which
searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list,
for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr
structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing
will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower>
tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just
match on those fields (properly endian swapped).
I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue.

This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network
topology service subsystem, including:
- updates to comments (including copyright dates)
- re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically
- removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required
- minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions

This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the
reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since
the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This
consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
in the default configuration.

This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized
endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis. (This
capability is needed to support the upcoming consolidation of
subscriber and subscription object references.)
