        rps_lock(queue);
        if (queue->input_pkt_queue.qlen <= netdev_max_backlog) {
                if (queue->input_pkt_queue.qlen) {
...
                if (napi_schedule_prep(&queue->backlog)) {
#ifdef CONFIG_RPS
                        if (cpu != smp_processor_id()) {
                                struct rps_remote_softirq_cpus *rcpus =
                                    &__get_cpu_var(rps_remote_softirq_cpus);

                                cpu_set(cpu, rcpus->mask[rcpus->select]);
                                __raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ);
                                goto enqueue;
                        }
#endif
                        __napi_schedule(&queue->backlog);
                }

Only the first packet of a softnet.input_pkt_queue may trigger IPI, so
we don't need to keep bitmasks.
