Fix softirq's not being handled during napi_schedule() call when
receiving marker packets for queue disable by disabling local bottom
half.

The issue can be seen on ifdown:
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

Using ftrace to catch the failing scenario:
ifconfig   [003] d.... 22739.830624: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
<idle>-0   [003] ..s.. 22739.831357: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]

No interrupt and CPU is idle.

After the patch, with BH locks:

Minor: local_bh_{en,dis}able() are not "BH locks", it's BH
enabling/disabling. It doesn't lock/unlock anything.

Good catch, we can change it to:
"After the patch when disabling local BH before calling napi_schedule:"


ifconfig   [003] d.... 22993.928336: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
ifconfig   [003] ..s1. 22993.928337: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
