The netfilter code relies only on the implicit semantics of
local_bh_disable() for serializing wt_write_recseq sections. RT breaks
that and needs explicit serialization here.

I'm have a setup running 3.0.48-rt72.  It's been running about 8 hours
so far, and tomorrow I'll know if there's been any problems.  I'm
confident things will be fine tomorrow, and at that time I'll be glad
to attach a Tested-by tag.

Thanks,
Pete
