tipc: add subscription refcount to avoid invalid delete

[ Upstream commit d094c4d5 ]

Until now, the subscribers keep track of the subscriptions using
reference count at subscriber level. At subscription cancel or
subscriber delete, we delete the subscription only if the timer
was pending for the subscription. This approach is incorrect as:
1. del_timer() is not SMP safe, if on CPU0 the check for pending
   timer returns true but CPU1 might schedule the timer callback
   thereby deleting the subscription. Thus when CPU0 is scheduled,
   it deletes an invalid subscription.
2. We export tipc_subscrp_report_overlap(), which accesses the
   subscription pointer multiple times. Meanwhile the subscription
   timer can expire thereby freeing the subscription and we might
   continue to access the subscription pointer leading to memory
   violations.

In this commit, we introduce subscription refcount to avoid deleting
an invalid subscription.
