3.11.10.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes at stressinduktion.org>
commit 7f88c6b23afbd31545c676dea77ba9593a1a14bf upstream.
IPv6 stats are 64 bits and thus are protected with a seqlock. By not
disabling bottom-half we could deadlock here if we don't disable bh and
a softirq reentrantly updates the same mib.
