netpoll: revert 6bdb7fe3104 and fix be_poll() instead
Against -net. In the patch "netpoll: re-enable irq in poll_napi()", I tried to fix the following warning: [100718.051041] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [100718.051048] WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:159 local_bh_enable_ip+0x7d/0xb0() (Not tainted) [100718.051049] Hardware name: ProLiant BL460c G7 ...

This patch reverts the offending commit and fixes be_poll() by avoid disabling BH there, this is okay because be_poll() can be called either by poll_napi() which already disables IRQ, or by net_rx_action() which already disables BH.
