Its due to the fact that we call a potentially sleeping function from the bnx2fc
rcv path with preemption disabled (via the get_cpu call embedded in the per-cpu
variable stats lookup in bnx2fc_l2_rcv_thread.
Easy enough fix, we can just move the stats collection later in the function
where we are sure we won't preempt or sleep. This also allows us to not have to
enable pre-emption when doing a per-cpu lookup, since we're certain not to get
rescheduled.
