From: Bartosz Chronowski <immersa.bartosz.chronowski@gmail.com>

A local TIPC stream socket workload can trap a CPU in an endless receive
loop. The resulting soft lockup can make the system unavailable.

tipc_sk_push_backlog() can transmit delayed stream data while tipc_sk_rcv()
holds a destination socket's sk_lock.slock. Own-node transmission enters
tipc_sk_rcv() synchronously. A reply that reaches the ancestor socket
cannot acquire the still-held lock, and tipc_sk_rcv() retries without
consuming its input queue.

Pass the receive output queue to tipc_sk_push_backlog() from receive-side
callers. Queue own-node output there so the enclosing receive path sends it
after releasing the socket lock. Keep shutdown and remote-node transmission
on the existing direct path, preserving remote link congestion handling.
