[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] openvswitch: Disable bottom half when grabbing stats lock in userspace context

The megaflow feature introduced per-CPU stats, and the new code did some
refactoring as well [1]. However the new functions doesn't disable bottom halves
when locking the stat, and as they can be called from userspace context, they
can be interrupted by netif_receive_skb.

[1] e298e50570: openvswitch: Per cpu flow stats.
