When tipc uses auto-generated node addresses it goes through a duplicate address detection phase to ensure the address is unique.
When using explicitly configured node names the DAD phase is skipped. However addr_trail_end was being left set to 0 which causes parts of the tipc state machine to assume that the address is not yet valid and unnecessarily delays the discovery phase. By setting addr_trail_end to jiffies when using explicit addresses we ensure that we move straight to discovery.
