    netpoll: revert 6bdb7fe3 and fix be_poll() instead · 072a9c48

    In the patch "netpoll: re-enable irq in poll_napi()", I tried to
    fix the following warning:

    by reenabling IRQ before calling ->poll, but it seems more
    problems are introduced after that patch:
    
    http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/IMG_20120824_122054.jpg
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134563282530588&w=2
    
    
    
    So it is safe to fix be2net driver code directly.
    
    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.
