Tung Nguyen b3c2e8e106 tipc: fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list
[ Upstream commit d3092b2efc ]

The binding table's 'cluster_scope' list is rcu protected to handle
races between threads changing the list and those traversing the list at
the same moment. We have now found that the function named_distribute()
uses the regular list_for_each() macro to traverse the said list.
Likewise, the function tipc_named_withdraw() is removing items from the
same list using the regular list_del() call. When these two functions
execute in parallel we see occasional crashes.

This commit fixes this by adding the missing _rcu() suffixes.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
