Subject: [PATCH v2] net: fix problem in dequeuing from input_pkt_queue

Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
after a packet has been processed, that is only after
__netif_receive_skb has been called.  This is needed for the mechanism
to prevent OOO packet in RFS.  Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
OOO packets.

Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct.  The correct value
would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len.  To avoid
this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.
