Note that the bug is still in -rc3, and is easily triggerable via a 
default FC6 bootup. It's fixed by the (slightly modified) patch from 
Parag Warudkar below that i have in the -rt tree.

Note that this bug became visible due to the recent __resched_legal() 
fix, which bug made most of our atomicity debugging checks ineffective. 
About half a dozen separate atomicity bugs triggered in -rt when i fixed 
the __resched_legal() bug, so i'd expect some more to trigger upstream 
too.

do not call a sleeping lock API in an RCU read section.
lock_sock_nested can sleep, its BH counterpart doesn't. 
selinux_netlbl_inode_permission() needs to use the BH counterpart
unconditionally.

Compile tested.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

added BH disabling, because this function can be called from non-atomic
contexts too, so a naked bh_lock_sock() would be deadlock-prone.

Boot-tested the resulting kernel.
