Subject: [PATCH net] net: stmmac: use __napi_schedule() for PREEMPT_RT

From: Seb Laveze <sebastien.laveze@....com>

Use of __napi_schedule_irqoff() is not safe with PREEMPT_RT in which
hard interrupts are not disabled while running the threaded interrupt.

Using __napi_schedule() works for both PREEMPT_RT and mainline Linux,
just at the cost of an additional check if interrupts are disabled for
mainline (since they are already disabled).

Similar to the fix done for enetc:
215602a8d212 ("enetc: use napi_schedule to be compatible with PREEMPT_RT")
