firewire: core: retry on local errors in bus manager election
When the candidate bus manager fails to do the lock request with which it tries to become bus manager, it assumes that the current IRM is not actually IRM capable and forces itself to become root. However, if that lock request failed because the local node itself was not able to send it, then we cannot blame the current IRM and should not steal its rootness. In this case, RCODE_SEND_ERROR is likely to indicate a temporary error condition such as exhausted tlabels or low memory, so we better try again later.
