Subject: [PATCH v6.5 08/15] net: softnet_data: Make xmit per task.

Softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT. Without a per-CPU lock in
local_bh_disable() there is no guarantee that only one device is
transmitting at a time.
With preemption and multiple senders it is possible that the per-CPU
`recursion' counter gets incremented by different threads and exceeds
XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT leading to a false positive recursion alert.
The `more' member is subject to similar problems if set by one thread
for one driver and wrongly used by another driver within another thread.

Instead of adding a lock to protect the per-CPU variable it is simpler
to make xmit per-task. Sending and receiving skbs happens always
in thread context anyway.

Having a lock to protected the per-CPU counter would block/ serialize two
sending threads needlessly. It would also require a recursive lock to
ensure that the owner can increment the counter further.

Make the softnet_data.xmit a task_struct member on PREEMPT_RT. Add
needed wrapper.

Moving the whole struct because `more' also needs this. I haven't looked
at `skip_txqueue' but it is probably also affected.
