[IPV4]: severe locking bug in fib_semantics.c

Found in 2.4 by Yixin Pan <yxpan@hotmail.com>.

> When I read fib_semantics.c of Linux-2.4.32, write_lock(&fib_info_lock) =
> is used in fib_release_info() instead of write_lock_bh(&fib_info_lock).  =
> Is the following case possible: a BH interrupts fib_release_info() while =
> holding the write lock, and calls ip_check_fib_default() which calls =
> read_lock(&fib_info_lock), and spin forever.
