bpf: Fix unnecessary -EBUSY from htab_lock_bucket

htab_lock_bucket uses the following logic to avoid recursion:

1. preempt_disable();
2. check percpu counter htab->map_locked[hash] for recursion;
   2.1. if map_lock[hash] is already taken, return -BUSY;
3. raw_spin_lock_irqsave();

However, if an IRQ hits between 2 and 3, BPF programs attached to the IRQ
logic will not able to access the same hash of the hashtab and get -EBUSY.

This -EBUSY is not really necessary. Fix it by disabling IRQ before
checking map_locked:

1. preempt_disable();
2. local_irq_save();
3. check percpu counter htab->map_locked[hash] for recursion;
   3.1. if map_lock[hash] is already taken, return -BUSY;
4. raw_spin_lock().

Similarly, use raw_spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in
htab_unlock_bucket().

Fixes: 20b6cc34
