tipc: use node list lock to protect tipc_num_links variable

Browse source 
Without properly implicit or explicit read memory barrier, it's
unsafe to read an atomic variable with atomic_read() from another
thread which is different with the thread of changing the atomic
variable with atomic_inc() or atomic_dec(). So a stale tipc_num_links
may be got with atomic_read() in tipc_node_get_links(). If the
tipc_num_links variable type is converted from atomic to unsigned
integer and node list lock is used to protect it, the issue would
be avoided.
