There are two problematic situations.

A deadlock can happen when is_percpu is false because it can get
interrupted while holding the spinlock. Then it executes
ovs_flow_stats_update() in softirq context which tries to get
the same lock.

The second sitation is that when is_percpu is true, the code
correctly disables BH but only for the local CPU, so the
following can happen when locking the remote CPU without
disabling BH:

       CPU#0                            CPU#1
  ovs_flow_stats_get()
   stats_read()
 +->spin_lock remote CPU#1        ovs_flow_stats_get()
 |  <interrupted>                  stats_read()
 |  ...                       +-->  spin_lock remote CPU#0
 |                            |     <interrupted>
 |  ovs_flow_stats_update()   |     ...
 |   spin_lock local CPU#0 <--+     ovs_flow_stats_update()
 +---------------------------------- spin_lock local CPU#1

This patch disables BH for both cases fixing the deadlocks.
