Jon Paul Maloy 844cf763fb tipc: make macro tipc_wait_for_cond() smp safe
The macro tipc_wait_for_cond() is embedding the macro sk_wait_event()
to fulfil its task. The latter, in turn, is evaluating the stated
condition outside the socket lock context. This is problematic if
the condition is accessing non-trivial data structures which may be
altered by incoming interrupts, as is the case with the cong_links()
linked list, used by socket to keep track of the current set of
congested links. We sometimes see crashes when this list is accessed
by a condition function at the same time as a SOCK_WAKEUP interrupt
is removing an element from the list.

We fix this by expanding selected parts of sk_wait_event() into the
outer macro, while ensuring that all evaluations of a given condition
are performed under socket lock protection.

Fixes: commit 365ad353c2 ("tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during link congestion")
