net: openvswitch: fix to make sure flow_lookup() is not preempted
The flow_lookup() function uses per CPU variables, which must be called with BH disabled. However, this is fine in the general NAPI use case where the local BH is disabled. But, it's also called from the netlink context. The below patch makes sure that even in the netlink path, the BH is disabled. In addition, u64_stats_update_begin() requires a lock to ensure one writer which is not ensured here. Making it per-CPU and disabling NAPI (softirq) ensures that there is always only one writer.
