tipc: fix deadlock during socket release

Browse Source 
A deadlock might occur if name table is withdrawn in socket release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.
