seg6: Use nested-BH locking for seg6_bpf_srh_states.

The access to seg6_bpf_srh_states is protected by disabling preemption.
Based on the code, the entry point is input_action_end_bpf() and
every other function (the bpf helper functions bpf_lwt_seg6_*()), that
is accessing seg6_bpf_srh_states, should be called from within
input_action_end_bpf().

input_action_end_bpf() accesses seg6_bpf_srh_states first at the top of
the function and then disables preemption. This looks wrong because if
preemption needs to be disabled as part of the locking mechanism then
the variable shouldn't be accessed beforehand.

Looking at how it is used via test_lwt_seg6local.sh then
input_action_end_bpf() is always invoked from softirq context. If this
is always the case then the preempt_disable() statement is superfluous.
If this is not always invoked from softirq then disabling only
preemption is not sufficient.

Replace the preempt_disable() statement with nested-BH locking. This is
not an equivalent replacement as it assumes that the invocation of
input_action_end_bpf() always occurs in softirq context and thus the
preempt_disable() is superfluous.
Add a local_lock_t the data structure and use local_lock_nested_bh() for
locking. Add lockdep_assert_held() to ensure the lock is held while the
per-CPU variable is referenced in the helper functions.
