tipc: convert name table read-write lock to RCU
Now TIPC name table is statically allocated and is protected with a
Read-Write lock. To enhance the performance of TIPC name table lookup,
we are going to involve RCU lock to protect the name table. As a
consequence, it becomes lockless to concurrently look up name table on
read side. However, before the conversion can be successfully made,
the following two things must be first done:
- change allocation way of name table from static to dynamic
- fix several incorrect locking policy issues
