net: for rate-limited ICMP replies save one atomic operation
It is possible to avoid the atomic operation in icmp{v6,}_xmit_lock, by checking the sysctl_icmp_msgs_per_sec ratelimit before these calls, as pointed out by Eric Dumazet, but the BH disabled state must be correct. The icmp_global_allow() call states it must be called with BH disabled. This protection was given by the calls icmp_xmit_lock and icmpv6_xmit_lock. Thus, split out local_bh_disable/enable from these functions and maintain it explicitly at callers.
