Chengfeng Ye 08e50cf071 tipc: fix a potential deadlock on &tx->lock
It seems that tipc_crypto_key_revoke() could be be invoked by
wokequeue tipc_crypto_work_rx() under process context and
timer/rx callback under softirq context, thus the lock acquisition
on &tx->lock seems better use spin_lock_bh() to prevent possible
deadlock.

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

tipc_crypto_work_rx() <workqueue>
--> tipc_crypto_key_distr()
--> tipc_bcast_xmit()
--> tipc_bcbase_xmit()
--> tipc_bearer_bc_xmit()
--> tipc_crypto_xmit()
--> tipc_ehdr_build()
--> tipc_crypto_key_revoke()
--> spin_lock(&tx->lock)
<timer interrupt>
   --> tipc_disc_timeout()
   --> tipc_bearer_xmit_skb()
   --> tipc_crypto_xmit()
   --> tipc_ehdr_build()
   --> tipc_crypto_key_revoke()
   --> spin_lock(&tx->lock) <deadlock here>

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
