Subject: [PATCH v2] net: fix softnet_stat

fix softnet_stat

Per cpu variable softnet_data.total was shared between IRQ and SoftIRQ context
without any protection. And enqueue_to_backlog should update the netdev_rx_stat
of the target CPU.

This patch splits softnet_data.total into softnet_data.received and
softnet_data.dropped internally, in order to avoid it sharing between IRQ and
SoftIRQ. The old ABI softnet_data.total is kept by summing softnet_data.received
and softnet_data.dropped when exporting it to userland. And softnet_data.dropped
is protected in the corresponding input_pkt_queue.lock, if RPS is enabled.

This patch also fixed a bug: packets received by enqueue_to_backlog() were
counted twice: one in enqueue_to_backlog(), and the other in
__netif_receive_skb(), although they maybe not on the same CPUs, if RPS is
involved.
