Subject: [PATCH 231/347] net: Remove preemption disabling in netif_rx()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz

1)enqueue_to_backlog() (called from netif_rx) should be
  bind to a particluar CPU. This can be achieved by
  disabling migration. No need to disable preemption

2)Fixes crash "BUG: scheduling while atomic: ksoftirqd"
  in case of RT.
  If preemption is disabled, enqueue_to_backog() is called
  in atomic context. And if backlog exceeds its count,
  kfree_skb() is called. But in RT, kfree_skb() might
  gets scheduled out, so it expects non atomic context.

3)When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is not defined,
 migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() maps to
 preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), so no
 change in functionality in case of non-RT.

-Replace preempt_enable(), preempt_disable() with
 migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() respectively
-Replace get_cpu(), put_cpu() with get_cpu_light(),
 put_cpu_light() respectively
