This is still happening; looks like a missing lock in tipc_nl_compat_link_set().
Note that the reproducer isn't guaranteed to work as-is because the message it
sends to the netlink socket assumes that the "TIPC" generic netlink family was
assigned ID 31, when actually it is a dynamically assigned ID.  But it will
trigger if you adjust the message's ->nlmsg_type accordingly.
