tipc: protect handler_enabled variable with qitem_lock spin lock 'handler_enabled' is a global flag indicating whether the TIPC signal handling service is enabled or not. The lack of lock protection for this flag incurs a risk for contention, so that a tipc_k_signal() call might queue a signal handler to a destroyed signal queue, with unpredictable results. To correct this, we let the already existing 'qitem_lock' protect the flag, as it already does with the queue itself. This way, we ensure that the flag always is consistent across all cores.
