UL and DL tbfs are used in very separate parts and are not the same
thing so split the alloc function and use the UL/DL version throughout
the code.

Many functions only ever deal with or return a UL or a DL TBF.
Explicitly change the type to reflect which TBF is used where.

rcv_control_dl_ack_nack is only meaningful for dl tbf while
rcv_control_ack can be sent in response to a dl or ul tbf. So
rcv_control_ack still needs to check for ul and dl tbfs.

The current code keeps a reference to all tbfs in the bts and another
reference in the pdch. This allows for the possibility of both lists to
go out of sync.
This patch removes the pdch-specific list of ul and dl tbfs and uses the
lists in the bts to lookup tbfs everywhere.
Performance for going through the global list is not an issue yet. We
can optimize this later and in a better way.

The current code does not properly distinguish between DL assignments to
reuse a tbf (after it was put in state WAIT_RELEASE) and DL assignments
for an active tbf to change the allocation of the PDCH timeslots.
This patch introduces a new variable was_releasing which remembers if
trigger_dl_ass() was called with a tbf in state WAIT_RELEASE. In that
case we have to set the CONTROL_ACK field in the download assignment.
This should allow us to send DL assignments to change PDCH TS allocation
of a tbf before we enter FLOW state.
This approach is somehow flawed. We need/want to debug problems on
systems with real traffic and re-compiling it with debug_diagram
is not an option. All internal logging needs to be expressive enough
so we can understand what is going on (e.g. create a script to
post-process the output).
This does not mean that they have been successfully transferred
to the SGSN/MS but at least that they have reached a certain point
in the message flow.
All logging code that used tbf->tfi is now using tbf_name to
print the the TBF. External code is now using tfi() which is
inlined and should result in the same code being generated as
before (+debug code that can be stripped).
Now all updates to the tlli/tlli_valid are in one place. If we
implement the policy to update the matching/linked TBF we can
now to do it in a single place. Add a todo item for that as I
am waiting for feedback from the mailinglist.
This is like gsm_lchan_name and should be used in log statements.
This way we can easily change the information that is printed and
we know how to search things. The other part is that direct use
of tfi/tlli is removed which will allow us to make them private
and at the same time start to resolve the "tlli" updated in many
places.
Not old log statements are changed yet. This will done whenever
a bad log statement is seen on the console...
The TLLI can change when a new P-TMSI is assigned to the phone,
e.g. during a (periodic) routing area update. When the TLLI
changes we need to update all TBFs and maybe even register the
timing advance for the new TLLI..
TLLIs got printed as TBF. Fix that but also rename things to
TFI. The TFI is not required to be unique per BTS but it is
the indicator we use right now.
