    tipc: clean up socket timer function · 57289015
    Jon Paul Maloy authored
    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
