Subject: [PATCH net 1/8] idpf: disable local BH when scheduling napi for marker packets

From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com>

Fix softirq's not being handled during napi_schedule() call when
receiving marker packets for queue disable by disabling local bottom
half.

The issue can be seen on ifdown:
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

Using ftrace to catch the failing scenario:
ifconfig   [003] d.... 22739.830624: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
<idle>-0   [003] ..s.. 22739.831357: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]

No interrupt and CPU is idle.

After the patch when disabling local BH before calling napi_schedule:
ifconfig   [003] d.... 22993.928336: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
ifconfig   [003] ..s1. 22993.928337: softirq_entry: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]

Fixes: c2d548cad150 ("idpf: add TX splitq napi poll support")
