tipc: fix an interrupt unsafe locking scenario

Browse Source 
Commit 9faa89d4ed ("tipc: make function tipc_net_finalize() thread
safe") tries to make it thread safe to set node address, so it uses
node_list_lock lock to serialize the whole process of setting node
address in tipc_net_finalize(). But it causes the following interrupt
unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  rht_deferred_worker()
  rhashtable_rehash_table()
  lock(&(&ht->lock)->rlock)
			       tipc_nl_compat_doit()
                               tipc_net_finalize()
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&(&tn->node_list_lock)->rlock);
                               tipc_sk_reinit()
                               rhashtable_walk_enter()
                               lock(&(&ht->lock)->rlock);
  <Interrupt>
  tipc_disc_rcv()
  tipc_node_check_dest()
  tipc_node_create()
  lock(&(&tn->node_list_lock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

When rhashtable_rehash_table() holds ht->lock on CPU0, it doesn't
disable BH. So if an interrupt happens after the lock, it can create
an inverse lock ordering between ht->lock and tn->node_list_lock. As
a consequence, deadlock might happen.

The reason causing the inverse lock ordering scenario above is because
the initial purpose of node_list_lock is not designed to do the
serialization of node address setting.

As cmpxchg() can guarantee CAS (compare-and-swap) process is atomic,
we use it to replace node_list_lock to ensure setting node address can
be atomically finished. It turns out the potential deadlock can be
avoided as well.
