2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

commit 91035f0b7d89291af728b6f3e370c3be58fcbe1b upstream.

Eric W. Biederman reported a lockdep splat in inet_twsk_deschedule()

This is caused by inet_twsk_purge(), run from process context,
and commit 575f4cd5a5b6394577 (net: Use rcu lookups in inet_twsk_purge.)
removed the BH disabling that was necessary.

Add the BH disabling but fine grained, right before calling
inet_twsk_deschedule(), instead of whole function.

With help from Linus Torvalds and Eric W. Biederman
