The tipc_node_reset_links trace event asks tipc_node_dump() to walk the
node's link entries. Unlike the other node events that request link data,
this event runs without the node lock.

This permits bearer teardown to free a link while the trace callback is
dumping it:

  CPU 0                                CPU 1
  trace_tipc_node_reset_links()
    tipc_node_dump()
      l = n->links[0].link
                                       tipc_node_write_lock()
                                       kfree(l)
                                       n->links[0].link = NULL
                                       tipc_node_write_unlock()
      tipc_link_dump(l)

tipc_link_dump() then dereferences the stale pointer. KASAN reported:

   bearer_disable+0x107/0x260

Take the node write lock around the trace event. This serializes the
dump against tipc_node_link_down(delete=true), which frees the link
under the same write lock.

Do not take the lock inside tipc_node_dump() itself: several dump
callers, including tipc_node_link_down(), already hold the write lock.

v1 -> v2:
- Use tipc_node_write_lock() instead of tipc_node_read_lock() so the
  dump is exclusive with link deletion.
