usbnet: Fix using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code warnings
Syzbot reported the following warning:

For historical and portability reasons, the netif_rx() is usually run in the softirq or interrupt context, this commit therefore add local_bh_disable/enable() protection in the usbnet_resume_rx().
