tipc: fix race condition at topology server receive

We have identified a race condition during reception of socket
events and messages in the topology server.

- The function tipc_close_conn() is releasing the corresponding
  struct tipc_subscriber instance without considering that there
  may still be items in the receive work queue. When those are
  scheduled, in the function tipc_receive_from_work(), they are
  using the subscriber pointer stored in struct tipc_conn, without
  first checking if this is valid or not. This will sometimes
  lead to crashes, as the next call of tipc_conn_recvmsg() will
  access the now deleted item.
  We fix this by making the usage of this pointer conditional on
  whether the connection is active or not. I.e., we check the condition
  test_bit(CF_CONNECTED) before making the call tipc_conn_recvmsg().

- Since the two functions may be running on different cores, the
  condition test described above is not enough. tipc_close_conn()
  may come in between and delete the subscriber item after the condition
  test is done, but before tipc_conn_recv_msg() is finished. This
  happens less frequently than the problem described above, but leads
  to the same symptoms.

  We fix this by using the existing sk_callback_lock for mutual
  exclusion in the two functions. In addition, we have to move
  a call to tipc_conn_terminate() outside the mentioned lock to
  avoid deadlock.
