net: add back the missing serialization in ip_send_unicast_reply() none

Description John Kacur 2017-03-08 12:37:23 UTC 
Some time ago Sami Pietikäinen reported a crash on -RT in
ip_send_unicast_reply() which was later fixed by Nicholas Mc Guire
(v3.12.8-rt11). Later (v3.18.8) the code was reworked and I dropped the
patch. As it turns out it was mistake.
I have reports that the same crash is possible with a similar backtrace.
It seems that vanilla protects access to this_cpu_ptr() via
local_bh_disable(). This does not work the on -RT since we can have
NET_RX and NET_TX running in parallel on the same CPU.
This is brings back the old locks.
