dlm: fix deadlock between dlm_send and dlm_controld

A deadlock sometimes occurs between dlm_controld closing
a lowcomms connection through configfs and dlm_send looking
up the address for a new connection in configfs.

dlm_controld does a configfs rmdir which calls
dlm_lowcomms_close which waits for dlm_send to
cancel work on the workqueues.

The dlm_send workqueue thread has called
tcp_connect_to_sock which calls dlm_nodeid_to_addr
which does a configfs lookup and blocks on a lock
held by dlm_controld in the rmdir path.

The solution here is to save the node addresses within
the lowcomms code so that the lowcomms workqueue does
not need to step through configfs to get a node address.
