cls_bpf: do eBPF invocation under non-bh RCU lock variant for maps
Currently, it is possible in cls_bpf to access eBPF maps only under rcu_read_lock_bh() variants: while on ingress side, that is, handle_ing(), the classifier would be called from __netif_receive_skb_core() under rcu_read_lock(); on egress side, however, it's rcu_read_lock_bh() via __dev_queue_xmit(). This rcu/rcu_bh mix doesn't work together with eBPF maps as they require soley to be called under rcu_read_lock(). eBPF maps could also be shared among various other eBPF programs (possibly even with other eBPF program types, f.e. tracing) and user space processes, so any context is assumed. Therefore, a possible fix for cls_bpf is to wrap/nest eBPF program invocation under non-bh RCU lock variant.
