Eric Dumazet 951f788a80 ipv6: fix a BUG in rt6_get_pcpu_route()
Ido reported following splat and provided a patch.

[  122.221814] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: sshd/2672
[  122.221845] caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20

I believe we can simplify this code path a bit, since we no longer
hold a read_lock and need to release it to avoid a dead lock.

By disabling BH, we make sure we'll prevent code re-entry and
rt6_get_pcpu_route()/rt6_make_pcpu_route() run on the same cpu.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
