skbuff: Do not allow skb recycling with disabled IRQs
NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we
generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called,
and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled.
This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check()
routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling
path with IRQs disabled.
As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some
[broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during
TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused
the following badness:
nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1008 buckets, 4032 max)

Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143
