We see the following lockdep warning:

[ 2284.078604] 3 locks held by rmmod/254:
[ 2284.078604]  #0: 000000003368be9b (pernet_ops_rwsem){+.+.}, at: unregister_pernet_subsys+0x15/0x30

[...}

The reason is that the node timer handler sometimes needs to delete a
node which has been disconnected for too long. To do this, it grabs
the lock 'node_list_lock', which may at the same time be held by the
generic node cleanup function, tipc_node_stop(), during module removal.
Since the latter is calling del_timer_sync() inside the same lock, we
have a potential deadlock.

We fix this letting the timer cleanup function use spin_trylock()
instead of just spin_lock(), and when it fails to grab the lock it
just returns so that the timer handler can terminate its execution.
This is safe to do, since tipc_node_stop() anyway is about to
delete both the timer and the node instance.
