The following stall is possible while removing the tipc module:

The two things that trigger this oops are related to tipc_net_stop(), they
are:

* tipc_net_stop() schedules the removal of the bearers via workqueue, which
  includes the removal of the packet handler for the TIPC protocol family. So,
  we have no time guarantees when the packet handler is removed.

* tipc_net_stop() cleans up the the tipc_node_list, so it releases all
  tipc_node structures. However, the tipc_node_subscr structure still holds
  a reference to the tipc_node structures, which is now invalid.

After leaving tipc_net_stop, BH are enabled again. If we have a TIPC
message that is pending to be handled (in the softirq path), the packet
handler will likely be still there, so it passes the packet to tipc_recv_msg().
In that path, if the TIPC message announces a new service publication,
named_purge_publ() is invoked, then tipc_nodesub_unsubscribe() to remove
the node subscription happens. This function tries to get the node lock, but
that structure was already released by tipc_net_stop(), so it stalls.

The proposed fix removes the bearers first so we make sure we get no more
TIPC packets running through the input path, accessing the name-service
base in inconsistent state (as tipc_node structures are not there anymore).
