[PATCH 5.9 018/757] tipc: fix NULL pointer dereference in tipc_named_rcv

[ Upstream commit 7b50ee3dad2581dc022b4e32e55964d4fcdccf20 ]

In the function node_lost_contact(), we call __skb_queue_purge() without
grabbing the list->lock. This can cause to a race-condition why processing
the list 'namedq' in calling path tipc_named_rcv()->tipc_named_dequeue().

To fix this, we need to grab the lock of the 'namedq' list on both
path calling.
