Subject: [PATCH linux-next] docs: proc.rst: add softnet_stat

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

Softnet_stat shows statistics of struct softnet_data of online CPUs.
Struct softnet_data manages incoming and output packets on
per-CPU queues. Notice that fastroute and cpu_collision in
softnet_stat are obsoleted, their value is always 0.
