Subject: [PATCH net-next] ppp: remove unnecessary bh disable in xmit path

From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@....163.com>

Since the commit 55454a565836 ("ppp: avoid dealock on recursive xmit"),
the PPP xmit path is protected by wrapper functions which disable the
bh already. So it is unnecessary to disable the bh again in the real
xmit path.
