So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.
