cls_bpf: do eBPF invocation under non-bh RCU lock variant for maps



Currently, it is possible in cls_bpf to access eBPF maps only under
rcu_read_lock_bh() variants: while on ingress side, that is, handle_ing(),
the classifier would be called from __netif_receive_skb_core() under
rcu_read_lock(); on egress side, however, it's rcu_read_lock_bh() via
__dev_queue_xmit().

This rcu/rcu_bh mix doesn't work together with eBPF maps as they require
soley to be called under rcu_read_lock(). eBPF maps could also be shared
among various other eBPF programs (possibly even with other eBPF program
types, f.e. tracing) and user space processes, so any context is assumed.

Therefore, a possible fix for cls_bpf is to wrap/nest eBPF program
invocation under non-bh RCU lock variant.
