net: do not provide hard irq safety for sd->defer_lock
kfree_skb() can be called from hard irq handlers, but skb_attempt_defer_free() is meant to be used from process or BH contexts, and skb_defer_free_flush() is meant to be called from BH contexts. Not having to mask hard irq can save some cycles. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
