Franckly, reverting the original patch seems better for me. The intention for
that patch was "it's not needed", see the commit log:

"We never read or change netns id in hardirq context,
the only place we read netns id in softirq context
is in vxlan_xmit(). So, it should be enough to just
disable BH."

Now, we see that "it's needed" and that the analysis was wrong. If a race is
introduced by this patch, it will be hard to detect and fix it.
