tipc: Add missing spinlock in name table display code
This patch ensures that the display code that traverses the publication lists belonging to a name table entry take its associated spinlock, to protect against a possible change to one of its "head of list" pointers caused by a simultaneous name table lookup operation by another thread of control.
