Jon Paul Maloy 7b61554c25 tipc: move fragment importance field to new header position 
[ Upstream commit dde4b5ae65 ]

In commit e3eea1eb47 ("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.
