Subject[PATCH RT 08/22] net: provide a way to delegate processing a softirq to ksoftirqd
4.1.15-rt18-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

If the NET_RX uses up all of his budget it moves the following NAPI
invocations into the `ksoftirqd`. On -RT it does not do so. Instead it
rises the NET_RX softirq in its current context again.

In order to get closer to mainline's behaviour this patch provides
__raise_softirq_irqoff_ksoft() which raises the softirq in the ksoftird.
