This fixes the following sparse warnings:
sparse: symbol 'tipc_update_nametbl' was not declared. Should it be static?
Also, the function is changed to return bool upon success, rather than a
potentially freed pointer.

TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster,
entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes
simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may
not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in
which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that
node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table.

In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one
node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous,
conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node.
However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this
may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a
syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error".

In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of
the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication
fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming
that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so
happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it.

The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from
experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there
is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

Although we obtain node lock with tipc_node_lock() in most time, there

Commit a89778d8baf19cd7e728d81121a294a06cedaad1 ("tipc: add support
for link state subscriptions") introduced below possible deadlock
scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
T0: tipc_publish() link_timeout()
T1: tipc_nametbl_publish() [grab node lock]*
T2: [grab nametbl write lock]* link_state_event()
T3: named_cluster_distribute() link_activate()
T4: [grab node lock]* tipc_node_link_up()
T5: tipc_nametbl_publish()
T6: [grab nametble write lock]*

The opposite order of holding nametbl write lock and node lock on
above two different paths may result in a deadlock. If we move the
the delivery of named messages via link out of name nametbl lock,
the reverse order of holding locks will be eliminated, as a result,
the deadlock will be killed as well.

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.

In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
address to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array
defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well.
Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal
oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then
accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in
named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening
accidentally.

As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock,
we have to move the code of selecting an active link from
tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call
__tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's
node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved
using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node,
to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets.
The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for
TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to
the previous commit.

In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a
linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address.
This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space
applications that request node and link information in sorted order.
The list also improves performance when name table update messages are
sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

Prevents a null pointer dereference from occurring if a node subscription
is triggered at the same time that the subscribing port or publication is
terminating the subscription. The problem arises if the triggering routine
asynchronously activates and deregisters the node subscription while
deregistration is already underway -- the deregistration routine may find
that the pointer it has just verified to be non-NULL is now NULL.
To avoid this race condition the triggering routine now simply marks the
node subscription as defunct (to prevent it from re-activating)
instead of deregistering it. The subscription is now both deregistered
and destroyed only when the subscribing port or publication code terminates
the node subscription.

Cleans up TIPC's source code to eliminate the needless initialization
of static variables to zero.

These changes are purely cosmetic and do not alter the operation of TIPC
in any way.

Currently, TIPC supports only networks consisting of a single cluster

Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck
1. Don't export unused symbols
2. Eliminate dead code
3. Make functions and variables local
4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files

Compile tested only.
This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.

These functions have enough code in them such that they
seem like sensible targets for un-inlining. Prior to doing
that, this adds the tipc_ prefix to the functions, so that
in the event of a panic dump or similar, the subsystem from
which the functions come from is immediately clear.
