tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at module exit 

Commit 333f796235 ("tipc: fix a race condition leading to
subscriber refcnt bug") reveals a soft lockup while acquiring
nametbl_lock.

Before commit 333f796235, we call tipc_conn_shutdown() from
tipc_close_conn() in the context of tipc_topsrv_stop(). In that
context, we are allowed to grab the nametbl_lock.

Commit 333f796235, moved tipc_conn_release (renamed from
tipc_conn_shutdown) to the connection refcount cleanup. This allows
either tipc_nametbl_withdraw() or tipc_topsrv_stop() to the cleanup.

Since tipc_exit_net() first calls tipc_topsrv_stop() and then
tipc_nametble_withdraw() increases the chances for the later to
perform the connection cleanup.

The soft lockup occurs in the call chain of tipc_nametbl_withdraw(),
when it performs the tipc_conn_kref_release() as it tries to grab
nametbl_lock again while holding it already.

The previous changes in this series fixes the race conditions fixed
by commit 333f796235. Hence we can now revert the commit.
