tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variables
Added to the following: - tipc_random - tipc_own_addr - tipc_max_ports - tipc_net_id - tipc_remote_management - handler_enabled The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline bouncing.
