Subject: Softirq error with mcp251xfd driver

Hi,

the mcp251xfd driver uses a threaded irq handler to queue skbs with the
can_rx_offload_* helpers. I get the following error on every packet until
the rate limit kicks in:

NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

Adding local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable around the can_rx_offload_* calls
gets rid of the error, but is that the correct way to fix this?
Internally the can_rx_offload code uses spin_lock_irqsave to safely
manipulate its queue.

Best regards,

  Daniel
