tipc: fix oops when creating server socket fails
When creation of TIPC internal server socket fails,
we get an oops with the following dump:

We have the following call chain:
tipc_core_start()
ret = tipc_subscr_start()
ret = tipc_server_start(){
server->enabled = 1;
ret = tipc_open_listening_sock()
}
I.e., the server->enabled flag is unconditionally set to 1, whatever
the return value of tipc_open_listening_sock().
This causes a crash when tipc_core_start() tries to clean up
resources after a failed initialization:
if (ret == failed)
tipc_subscr_stop()
tipc_server_stop(){
if (server->enabled)
tipc_close_conn(){
NULL reference of con->sock-sk
OOPS!
}
}
To avoid this, tipc_server_start() should only set server->enabled
to 1 in case of a succesful socket creation. In case of failure, it
should release all allocated resources before returning.

tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure
TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription service for topology events, and another providing the configuration interface. These servers have previously been running in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly. Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is partially built on this API. As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required in order to protect TIPC internal resources. To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete rework of the locking policy in TIPC. The new service also solves another problem: As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block if necessary. Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of receiving the message in process context. As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes, subscribed events cannot be dropped any more. As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the conversion changes required in order to use it are significant, the addition is kept here as a separate commit.
