As an artefact from the native interface, the message sending functions
in the port takes a port ref as first parameter, and then looks up in
the registry to find the corresponding port pointer. This despite the
fact that the only currently existing caller, tipc_sock, already knows
this pointer.

We change the signature of these functions to take a struct tipc_port*
argument, and remove the redundant lookups.

We also remove an unmotivated extra lookup in the function
socket.c:auto_connect(), and, as the lookup functions tipc_port_deref()
and ref_deref() now become unused, we remove these two functions.

Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck
  1. Don't export unused symbols
  2. Eliminate dead code
  3. Make functions and variables local
  4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files

Compile tested only.
This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.

This patch converts the TIPC reference table locking routines
into non-inlined routines, since they are mainly called from
non-performance critical areas of TIPC and the added code
footprint incurred through inlining can no longer be justified.

Tried to run the new tipc stack through sparse.
Following patch fixes all cases where 0 was used
as replacement of NULL.
Use NULL to document this is a pointer and to silence sparse.

This brough sparse warning count down with 127 to 24 warnings.
