Subject: [088/117] sctp: per_cpu variables should be in bh_disabled section

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@...com>

[ Upstream commit 81419d862db743fe4450a021893f24bab4698c1d ]

Since the change of the atomics to percpu variables, we now
have to disable BH in process context when touching percpu variables.
