[tipc-discussion] [PATCH net-next v3 07/12] tipc: remove extern keywords from function declarations

[Ying X. <yin...@wi...>]

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the
TIPC source code, however, even though we don't use extern keyword
with declaration of function, it is present there from compiler view.
Therefore, standardize on not using extern for all function prototypes.
Additionally the change also refers to the commit(ID: 5c15257f).
