In 2004 netif_rx_ni() gained a preempt_disable() section around
netif_rx() and its do_softirq() + testing for it. The do_softirq() part
is required because netif_rx() raises the softirq but does not invoke
it. The preempt_disable() is required to remain on the same CPU which added the
skb to the per-CPU list.
All this can be avoided be putting this into a local_bh_disable()ed
section. The local_bh_enable() part will invoke do_softirq() if
required.
