[PATCH] Make netif_rx_ni preempt-safe

[Lee Revell <rlrevell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch makes netif_rx_ni() preempt-safe.  The problem was reported
by Alain Schroeder.  Here are the users:

drivers/s390/net/ctcmain.c
drivers/s390/net/netiucv.c
drivers/net/irda/vlsi_ir.c
drivers/net/tun.c

As David S. Miller explained, the do_softirq (and therefore the preempt
dis/enable) is required because there is no softirq check on the return
path when netif_rx is called from non-interrupt context.
