netfilter: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: dont block bottom half more than necessary
We currently disable BH for the whole duration of get_counters() On machines with a lot of cpus and large tables, this might be too long. We can disable preemption during the whole function, and disable BH only while fetching counters for the current cpu.
