tipc: call tipc_lxc_xmit without holding node_read_lock
commit 88956177db179e4eba7cd590971961857d1565b8 upstream.
When sending packets between nodes in netns, it calls tipc_lxc_xmit() for
peer node to receive the packets where tipc_sk_mcast_rcv()/tipc_sk_rcv()
might be called, and it's pretty much like in tipc_rcv().
Currently the local 'node rw lock' is held during calling tipc_lxc_xmit()
to protect the peer_net not being freed by another thread. However, when
receiving these packets, tipc_node_add_conn() might be called where the
peer 'node rw lock' is acquired. Then a dead lock warning is triggered by
lockdep detector, although it is not a real dead lock:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

other info that might help us debug this:

This patch avoids this warning by not holding the 'node rw lock' before
calling tipc_lxc_xmit(). As to protect the 'peer_net', rcu_read_lock()
should be enough, as in cleanup_net() when freeing the netns, it calls
synchronize_rcu() before the free is continued.
Also since tipc_lxc_xmit() is like the RX path in tipc_rcv(), it makes
sense to call it under rcu_read_lock(). Note that the right lock order
must be:
rcu_read_lock();
tipc_node_read_lock(n);
tipc_node_read_unlock(n);
tipc_lxc_xmit();
rcu_read_unlock();
instead of:
tipc_node_read_lock(n);
rcu_read_lock();
tipc_node_read_unlock(n);
tipc_lxc_xmit();
rcu_read_unlock();
and we have to call tipc_node_read_lock/unlock() twice in
tipc_node_xmit().
