Eric Dumazet 4cfb04854d net: fix possible deadlock in sum_frag_mem_limit ...

Dave Jones reported a lockdep splat occurring in IP defrag code.

commit 6d7b857d54 (net: use lib/percpu_counter API for
fragmentation mem accounting) added a possible deadlock.

Because percpu_counter_sum_positive() needs to acquire
a lock that can be used from softirq, we need to disable BH
in sum_frag_mem_limit()
