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]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
