tipc: clean up socket timer function
The last remaining BH upcall to the socket, apart for the message reception function tipc_sk_rcv(), is the timer function. We prefer to let this function continue executing in BH, since it only does read-acces to semi-permanent data, but we make three changes to it: 1) We introduce a bh_lock_sock()/bh_unlock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock. This is a preparation for replacing port_lock with bh_lock_sock() at the locations where it is still used. 2) We move the function from port.c to socket.c, as a further step of eliminating the port code level altogether. 3) We let it make use of the newly introduced tipc_msg_create() function. This enables us to get rid of three context specific functions (port_create_self_abort_msg() etc.) in port.c Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
