Subject: [PATCH 10/15] dev: Use nested-BH locking for
 softnet_data.process_queue.
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.10/older/patches-6.10.2-rt14.tar.xz

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.

softnet_data::input_queue_head can be updated lockless. This is fine
because this value is only update CPU local by the local backlog_napi
thread.

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.
