[PATCH net-next] tipc: fix broadcast wakeup contention after congestion

[richard.alpe]

From: Richard Alpe <richard.alpe@ericsson.com>

commit 908344cdda80 ("tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling")
introduced a race in the broadcast link wakeup functionality.

This patch eliminates this broadcast link wakeup race caused by
operation on the wakeup list without proper locking. If this race
hit and corrupted the list all subsequent wakeup messages would be
lost, resulting in a considerable memory leak.
