Before tipc_purge_publications() calls tipc_nametbl_remove_publ() to
remove a publication with a name sequence, the name sequence's lock
is held. However, when tipc_nametbl_remove_publ() calling
tipc_nameseq_remove_publ() to remove the publication, it first tries
to query name sequence instance with the publication, and then holds
the lock of the found name sequence. But as the lock may be already
taken in tipc_purge_publications(), deadlock happens like above
scenario demonstrated. As tipc_nameseq_remove_publ() doesn't grab name
sequence's lock, the deadlock can be avoided if it's directly invoked
by tipc_purge_publications().
