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()

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.
