macvtap: fix two races



Since commit ac4e4af1 ("macvtap: Consistently use rcu functions"),
Thomas gets two different warnings :

 #0:  (&vq->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<000003ff8031903c>] handle_tx+0x54/0x5ec [vhost_net]
 #1:  (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<000003ff802ea53c>] macvtap_get_user+0x824/0xbc4 [macvtap]

In the first case, macvtap_put_user() calls macvlan_count_rx()
in a preempt-able context, and this is not allowed.

In the second case, macvtap_get_user() calls
macvlan_start_xmit() with BH enabled, and this is not allowed.
