tipc: fix deadlock during socket release
A deadlock might occur if name table is withdrawn in socket release routine, and while packets are still being received from bearer. CPU0 CPU1 T0: recv_msg() release() T1: tipc_recv_msg() tipc_withdraw() T2: [grab node lock] [grab port lock] T3: tipc_link_wakeup_ports() tipc_nametbl_withdraw() T4: [grab port lock]* named_cluster_distribute() T5: wakeupdispatch() tipc_link_send() T6: [grab node lock]* The opposite order of holding port lock and node lock on above two different paths may result in a deadlock. If socket lock instead of port lock is used to protect port instance in tipc_withdraw(), the reverse order of holding port lock and node lock will be eliminated, as a result, the deadlock is killed as well.
