tipc: fix lockdep warning on address assignment

Browse Source 
So in the forward porting of various tipc packages, I was constantly
getting this lockdep warning everytime I used tipc-config to set a network
address for the protocol:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.33 #1
tipc-config/1326 is trying to acquire lock:
(ref_table_lock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0315148>] tipc_ref_discard+0x53/0xd4 [tipc]

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&entry->lock)->rlock#2){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa03150d5>] tipc_ref_lock+0x43/0x63 [tipc]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Finally decided I should fix this.  Its a straightforward inversion,
tipc_ref_acquire takes two locks in this order:
ref_table_lock
entry->lock

while tipc_deleteport takes them in this order:
entry->lock (via tipc_port_lock())
ref_table_lock (via tipc_ref_discard())

when the same entry is referenced, we get the above warning.  The fix is equally
straightforward.  Theres no real relation between the entry->lock and the
ref_table_lock (they just are needed at the same time), so move the entry->lock
aquisition in tipc_ref_acquire down, after we unlock ref_table_lock (this is
safe since the ref_table_lock guards changes to the reference table, and we've
already claimed a slot there.  I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it
clears up the lockdep issue
