[ Upstream commit 88956177db179e4eba7cd590971961857d1565b8 ]
When sending packets between nodes in netns, it calls tipc_lxc_xmit() for peer node to receive the packets where tipc_sk_mcast_rcv()/tipc_sk_rcv() might be called, and it's pretty much like in tipc_rcv().
Currently the local 'node rw lock' is held during calling tipc_lxc_xmit() to protect the peer_net not being freed by another thread. However, when receiving these packets, tipc_node_add_conn() might be called where the peer 'node rw lock' is acquired. Then a dead lock warning is triggered by lockdep detector, although it is not a real dead lock:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- conn_server/1086 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8880065cb020 (&n->lock#2){++--}-{2:2}, \ at: tipc_node_add_conn.cold.76+0xaa/0x211 [tipc]

other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario:

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

This patch avoids this warning by not holding the 'node rw lock' before calling tipc_lxc_xmit(). As to protect the 'peer_net', rcu_read_lock() should be enough, as in cleanup_net() when freeing the netns, it calls synchronize_rcu() before the free is continued.
Also since tipc_lxc_xmit() is like the RX path in tipc_rcv(), it makes sense to call it under rcu_read_lock(). Note that the right lock order must be:
rcu_read_lock(); tipc_node_read_lock(n); tipc_node_read_unlock(n); tipc_lxc_xmit(); rcu_read_unlock();
instead of:
tipc_node_read_lock(n); rcu_read_lock(); tipc_node_read_unlock(n); tipc_lxc_xmit(); rcu_read_unlock();
and we have to call tipc_node_read_lock/unlock() twice in tipc_node_xmit().
