Subject: [PATCH] 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 changes the meaning of softnet_data.total to the number of packets
processed, not includes dropped, in order to avoid it sharing between IRQ and
SoftIRQ. And softnet_data.dropped is protected in the corresponding
input_pkt_queue.lock, if RPS is enabled.
