Subject: [PATCH net] net: fix race between napi kthread mode and busy poll

Currently, napi_thread_wait() checks for NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to
determine if the kthread owns this napi and could call napi->poll() on
it. However, if socket busy poll is enabled, it is possible that the
busy poll thread grabs this SCHED bit (after the previous napi->poll()
invokes napi_complete_done() and clears SCHED bit) and tries to poll
on the same napi.
This patch tries to fix this race by adding a new bit
NAPI_STATE_SCHED_BUSY_POLL in napi->state. This bit gets set in
napi_busy_loop() togther with NAPI_STATE_SCHED, and gets cleared in
napi_complete_done() together with NAPI_STATE_SCHED. This helps
distinguish the ownership of the napi between kthread and the busy poll
thread, and prevents the kthread from polling on the napi when this napi
is still owned by the busy poll thread.

Fixes: 29863d41bb6e ("net: implement threaded-able napi poll loop support")
