net: rps: fix cpu unplug
softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets into victim queue. A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu is offline. Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing, only make migration safer.
