cxgb4/ch_ktls: disable softirqs around tid_list erases
chcr_ktls_cpl_act_open_rpl() inserts into tid_list from the receive path
using xa_insert_bh(). The array is shared by the adapter's connections
and initialized with XA_FLAGS_LOCK_BH. However, chcr_ktls_dev_del() and
the chcr_ktls_dev_add() error path use xa_erase(), which takes the XArray
lock without disabling softirqs.
When cleanup runs with softirqs enabled, a receive softirq for another
connection on the same CPU can interrupt the erase and spin on the lock
held by the interrupted task. Use xa_erase_bh() at both sites to match
the insertion path.
