[NETFILTER]: Fix deadlock with ip_queue and tcp local input path.
When we have ip_queue being used from LOCAL_IN, then we end up with a situation where the verdicts coming back from userspace traverse the TCP input path from syscall context. While this seems to work most of the time, there's an ugly deadlock: syscall context is interrupted by the timer interrupt. When the timer interrupt leaves, the timer softirq get's scheduled and calls tcp_delack_timer() and alike. They themselves do bh_lock_sock(sk), which is already held from somewhere else -> boom. I've now tested the suggested solution by Patrick McHardy and Herbert Xu to simply use local_bh_{en,dis}able(). Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
