Does it actually work?  If preemption is disabled during local_bh_disable,
softirq_ctrl.lock won't be taken.  If you then get preempted between the
preempt_enable() and the local_bh_enable(), and another task tries to do
local_bh_disable(), won't it successfully get softirq_ctrl.lock, add to
softirq_ctrl.cnt, and proceed right into the critical section?

Or am I missing something?
