net: Fix percpu counters deadlock

Browse Source 
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.
