Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/24] dev: Use nested-BH locking for softnet_data.process_queue.

softnet_data::process_queue is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled
BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on
PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit locking.

Add a local_lock_t to softnet_data and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking
of process_queue. This change adds only lockdep coverage and does not
alter the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.
