Maciej Żenczykowski reported some panics in tcp_twsk_destructor()
that might be caused by the following bug.
timewait timer is pinned to the cpu, because we want to transition
timwewait refcount from 0 to 4 in one go, once everything has been
initialized.
At the time commit ed2e923945 ("tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer
handling") was merged, TCP was always running from BH habdler.
After commit 5413d1babe ("net: do not block BH while processing
socket backlog") we definitely can run tcp_time_wait() from process
context.
We need to block BH in the critical section so that the pinned timer
has still its purpose.
This bug is more likely to happen under stress and when very small RTO
are used in datacenter flows.
Fixes: 5413d1babe ("net: do not block BH while processing socket backlog")
