tipc: protect tipc_subscrb_get() with subscriber spin lock

Until now, during subscription creation the mod_time() &
tipc_subscrb_get() are called after releasing the subscriber
spin lock.

In a SMP system when performing a subscription creation, if the
subscription timeout occurs simultaneously (the timer is
scheduled to run on another CPU) then the timer thread
might decrement the subscribers refcount before the create
thread increments the refcount.

This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and
sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.
This leads to the following message:

In this commit,
1. we remove the check for the return code for mod_timer()
2. we protect tipc_subscrb_get() using the subscriber spin lock.
   We increment the subscriber's refcount as soon as we add the
   subscription to subscriber's subscription list.
