Subject: [PATCH] rps: Handle double list_add at __napi_schedule

When NAPI_STATE_SCHED state is not set, enqueue_to_backlog()
will queue an IPI and add the backlog queue to the poll list. A packet
added by RPS onto the core could also add the NAPI backlog struct to the
poll list. This double addition to the list causes a crash -

2920.540304:   <2> list_add double add: new=ffffffc076ed2930,
prev=ffffffc076ed2930, next=ffffffc076ed2850.

2921.083796:   <2> [<ffffffc000200714>] gic_handle_irq+0x94/0xb0

Fix this race for double addition to list by checking the NAPI state.
