IB/IPoIB: Disable bottom half when dealing with device address

Browse source 
Align locking usage when touching device address with rest
of the kernel. Lock the bottom half when doing so using
netif_addr_lock_bh.

This also solves the following case as reported by lockdep:
	CPU0                    CPU1
	----                    ----
lock(_xmit_INFINIBAND);
				local_irq_disable();
				lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);
				lock(_xmit_INFINIBAND);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);

*** DEADLOCK ***
