It seems that tipc_crypto_key_revoke() could be be invoked by
wokequeue tipc_crypto_work_rx() under process context and
timer/rx callback under softirq context, thus the lock acquisition
on &tx->lock seems better use spin_lock_bh() to prevent possible
deadlock.

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

--> tipc_bearer_bc_xmit()
--> tipc_crypto_xmit()
--> tipc_ehdr_build()
--> tipc_crypto_key_revoke()
--> spin_lock(&tx->lock)
<timer interrupt>
   --> tipc_disc_timeout()
   --> tipc_bearer_xmit_skb()
   --> tipc_crypto_xmit()
   --> tipc_ehdr_build()
   --> tipc_crypto_key_revoke()
   --> spin_lock(&tx->lock) <deadlock here>
