This is the "up" path which is not a hotpath. There is also
refill_work().
It might be unwise to add the local_bh_disable() to try_fill_recv()
because if it is used mostly in BH so that local_bh_en+dis might be a
waste of cycles.
Adding local_bh_disable() around try_fill_recv() for the non-BH call
sites would render GFP_KERNEL pointless.
Also, ptr->var++ is not an atomic operation even on 64bit CPUs. Which
means if try_fill_recv() runs on CPU0 (via virtnet_receive()) then the
worker might run on CPU1.
Do we care or is this just stupid stats? Any suggestions?
This warning appears since commit 461f03dc99cf6 ("virtio_net: Add kick stats").
