[PATCH 4.9 48/61] dev: Defer free of skbs in flush_backlog

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7df5cb75cfb8acf96c7f2342530eb41e0c11f4c3 ]

IRQs are disabled when freeing skbs in input queue.
Use the IRQ safe variant to free skbs here.

Fixes: 145dd5f9c88f ("net: flush the softnet backlog in process context")
