Disabling preemption in sock_map_sk_acquire conflicts with GFP_ATOMIC
allocation later in sk_psock_init_link on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since
GFP_ATOMIC might sleep on RT (see bpf: Make BPF and PREEMPT_RT co-exist
patchset notes for details).

This causes calling bpf_map_update_elem on BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP maps to
BUG (sleeping function called from invalid context) on RT kernels.

preempt_disable was introduced together with lock_sk and rcu_read_lock
in commit 99ba2b5aba24e ("bpf: sockhash, disallow bpf_tcp_close and update
in parallel"), probably to match disabled migration of BPF programs, and
is no longer necessary.

Remove preempt_disable to fix BUG in sock_map_update_common on RT.

We disable softirq and hold a spin lock when modifying the map/hash in
sock_{map,hash}_update_common so this LGTM:
