Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: fix possible seqlock deadlock

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

ip4_datagram_connect() being called from process context,
it should use IP_INC_STATS() instead of IP_INC_STATS_BH()
otherwise we can deadlock on 32bit arches, or get corruptions of
SNMP counters.

Fixes: 584bdf8cbdf6 ("[IPV4]: Fix "ipOutNoRoutes" counter error for TCP and UDP")
