crypto: cryptd - disable softirqs in cryptd_queue_worker to prevent data corruption
cryptd_queue_worker attempts to prevent simultaneous accesses to crypto
workqueue by cryptd_enqueue_request using preempt_disable/preempt_enable.
However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from softirq context,
so add local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable to prevent data corruption and
panics.
Bug report at http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=134858649616319&w=2
v2:
- Disable software interrupts instead of hardware interrupts
