tipc: eliminate KMSAN uninit-value in strcmp complaint

When we get link properties through netlink interface with
tipc_nl_node_get_link(), we don't validate TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME
attribute at all, instead we directly use it. As a consequence,
KMSAN detected the TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME attribute was an uninitialized
value, and then posted the following complaint:

==================================================================

To quiet the complaint, TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME attribute has been
validated in tipc_nl_node_get_link() before it's used.
