4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 557d054c01da0337ca81de9e9d9206d57245b57e ]

Until now, tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() is called at subscriptions
reference count cleanup. Usually the subscriptions cleanup is
called at subscription timeout or at subscription cancel or at
subscriber delete.

We have ignored the possibility of this being called from other
locations, which causes deadlock as we try to grab the
tn->nametbl_lock while holding it already.

CPU1: CPU2:
---------- ----------------
tipc_nametbl_publish
spin_lock_bh(&tn->nametbl_lock)
tipc_nametbl_insert_publ
tipc_nameseq_insert_publ
tipc_subscrp_report_overlap
tipc_subscrp_get
tipc_subscrp_send_event
tipc_close_conn
tipc_subscrb_release_cb
tipc_subscrb_delete
tipc_subscrp_put
tipc_subscrp_put
tipc_subscrp_kref_release
tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe
spin_lock_bh(&tn->nametbl_lock)
<<grab nametbl_lock again>>

CPU1: CPU2:
---------- ----------------
tipc_nametbl_stop
spin_lock_bh(&tn->nametbl_lock)
tipc_purge_publications
tipc_nameseq_remove_publ
tipc_subscrp_report_overlap
tipc_subscrp_get
tipc_subscrp_send_event
tipc_close_conn
tipc_subscrb_release_cb
tipc_subscrb_delete
tipc_subscrp_put
tipc_subscrp_put
tipc_subscrp_kref_release
tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe
spin_lock_bh(&tn->nametbl_lock)
<<grab nametbl_lock again>>

In this commit, we advance the calling of tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe()
from the refcount cleanup to the intended callers.
