Li Xiasong acd7df8d95 tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints
tipc_sk_enqueue() runs with sk->sk_lock.slock held while the socket is
owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this
path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or
purging sk_receive_queue.

    </TASK>

The TIPC_DUMP_ALL tracepoints in tipc_sk_enqueue() also dump
sk_receive_queue and can therefore dereference skbs that the socket
owner has already dequeued or freed. Restrict these dumps to
TIPC_DUMP_SK_BKLGQ, which matches the queue protected by the held
spinlock.

Keep the change limited to the enqueue path, where the unsafe queue dump
is reachable while the socket is owned by user context.
