tipc: standardize accept routine
Comparing the behaviour of how to wait for events in TIPC accept()
with other stacks, the TIPC implementation might be perceived as
different, and sometimes even incorrect. As sk_sleep() and
sk->sk_receive_queue variables associated with socket are not
protected by socket lock, the process of calling accept() may be
woken up improperly or sometimes cannot be woken up at all. After
standardizing it with inet_csk_wait_for_connect routine, we can
get benefits including: avoiding 'thundering herd' phenomenon,
adding a timeout mechanism for accept(), coping with a pending
signal, and having sk_sleep() and sk->sk_receive_queue being
always protected within socket lock scope and so on.
