When booting kernel with LOCKDEP option, below warning info was found:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

----
lock(&(&list->lock)->rlock#4);
lock(&(&list->lock)->rlock#4);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation

The reason why the noise above was complained by LOCKDEP is because we
nested to hold l->wakeupq.lock and l->inputq->lock in tipc_link_reset
function. In fact it's unnecessary to move skb buffer from l->wakeupq
queue to l->inputq queue while holding the two locks at the same time.
Instead, we can move skb buffers in l->wakeupq queue to a temporary
list first and then move the buffers of the temporary list to l->inputq
queue, which is also safe for us.
