firewire: insist on successive self ID complete events

The whole topology code only works if the old and new topologies which
are compared come from immediately successive self ID complete events.

If there happened bus resets without self ID complete events in the
meantime, or self ID complete events with invalid selfIDs, the topology
comparison could identify nodes wrongly, or more likely just corrupt
kernel memory or panic right away.

We now discard all nodes of the old topology and treat all current nodes
as new ones if the current self ID generation is not the previous one
plus 1.
