Subject: "tipc: fix socket timer deadlock" to stable?

Hello,

We're seeing this tipc deadlock in 4.4.y, that was fixed in the mainline commit
f1d048f24e66ba85d3dabf3d076cefa5f2b546b0 "tipc: fix socket timer
deadlock".

Could/should this patch also be included in the stable kernel trees?

I think it should. If action is required by me here (?) I will repost the commit for 4.4.

I just checked that the patch applies on top of 4.4.53, only the line numbers
are different compared to the upstream commit.
