tipc: Add missing spinlock in name table display code

Browse source 
This patch ensures that the display code that traverses the
publication lists belonging to a name table entry take its
associated spinlock, to protect against a possible change to
one of its "head of list" pointers caused by a simultaneous
name table lookup operation by another thread of control.
