Afaict this is a real deadlock.

All the code around that percpu_counter_inc() in tcp_close() seems to
disabled softirqs, which suggests a softirq can really happen there.

So either we disable softirqs around the percpu op, or we move it a few
lines down, like:

---
Subject: net: fix tcp deadlock

Lockdep spotted that the percpu counter op takes a lock so that softirq
recursion deadlocks can occur. Delay the op until we've disabled
softirqs to avoid this.
