These can be caused by blocking while holding local_softirq_lock.

Even with per softirq threads, and then (yet more overhead) splitting
the lock to make sure one softirq type can't block another, _and_ only
griping if the lock for the pending softirq is _not_ held, seems the
little bugger can still be triggered very rarely by syn flood induced
handler bail/raise.  Annoying little gripe :)
