[ovs-dev] [PATCH net v3] net: openvswitch: fix to make sure flow_lookup() is not preempted

The flow_lookup() function uses per CPU variables, which must be called
with BH disabled. However, this is fine in the general NAPI use case
where the local BH is disabled. But, it's also called from the netlink
context. The below patch makes sure that even in the netlink path, the
BH is disabled.
In addition, u64_stats_update_begin() requires a lock to ensure one writer
which is not ensured here. Making it per-CPU and disabling NAPI (softirq)
ensures that there is always only one writer.
Fixes: eac87c413bf9 ("net: openvswitch: reorder masks array based on usage")
