tipc: convert config_lock from spinlock to mutex
As the configuration server is now running under process context, it's unnecessary for us to have a spinlock serializing the TIPC configuration process. Instead, we replace it with a mutex lock, which gives us more freedom. For instance, we can now call pre-emptable functions within the protected area.
