Subject: [ 45/95] net/802/mrp: fix lockdep splat

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit faff57a92ba1d7247c5e86ecea2886d2c9d54507 ]

commit fb745e9a037895 ("net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when
calling mrp_pdu_queue()") introduced a lockdep splat.

[   19.735147] =================================
[   19.735235] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
[   19.735324] 3.9.2-build-0063 #4 Not tainted
[   19.735412] ---------------------------------
[   19.735500] inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
[   19.735592] rmmod/1840 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
[   19.735682]  (&(&app->lock)->rlock#2){+.?...}, at: [<f862bb5b>]
mrp_uninit_applicant+0x69/0xba [mrp]

app->lock is normally taken under softirq context, so disable BH to
avoid the splat.
