[PATCH net-next 09/24] dev: Use the RPS lock for softnet_data::input_pkt_queue on PREEMPT_RT.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

There is no additional locking in rps_lock_*() on PREEMPT_RT in the
!CONFIG_RPS case. The reasoning is that local_bh_disable() provides the
required synchronization (everywhere).
All interrupts are threaded and so the required CPU local
synchronization is provided by the per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
which is always performed for the forced-threaded interrupts.
Needless to say that the softirq users (NAPI) have BH disabled while
being invoked as a softirq callback.

Without locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT the
softnet_data::input_pkt_queue data structure requires explicit locking
in the !CONFIG_RPS case.

Disabling interrupts for CPU-local locking is undesired because it will
impose restrictions within the locked sections like not allowing to free
a skb.

Utilise the locking which is present in the CONFIG_RPS case for
serialisation on PREEMPT_RT even without CONFIG_RPS enabled.
