I get storms of warnings from local_bh_enable().  Better-tested patches,
please.

* The uidhash_lock is mostly taken from process context, but it is
* occasionally also taken from softirq/tasklet context, when
* task-structs get RCU-freed. Hence all locking must be softirq-safe.
* But free_uid() is also called with local interrupts disabled, and running
* local_bh_enable() with local interrupts disabled is an error - we'll run
* softirq callbacks, and they can unconditionally enable interrupts, and
* the caller of free_uid() didn't expect that..
