Subject: [PATCH net-next] vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section

dev_queue_xmit_nit() already uses rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock()
and nothing suggests that softIRQs should be disabled around it.
Therefore, remove the rcu_read_lock_bh() / rcu_read_unlock_bh()
surrounding it.

Tested using [1] with lockdep enabled.
