Sebastian Andrzej Siewior b824c3e16c net: Provide a PREEMPT_RT specific check for netdev_queue::_xmit_lock
After acquiring netdev_queue::_xmit_lock the number of the CPU owning
the lock is recorded in netdev_queue::xmit_lock_owner. This works as
long as the BH context is not preemptible.

On PREEMPT_RT the softirq context is preemptible and without the
softirq-lock it is possible to have multiple user in __dev_queue_xmit()
submitting a skb on the same CPU. This is fine in general but this means
also that the current CPU is recorded as netdev_queue::xmit_lock_owner.
This in turn leads to the recursion alert and the skb is dropped.

Instead checking the for CPU number, that owns the lock, PREEMPT_RT can
check if the lockowner matches the current task.

Add netif_tx_owned() which returns true if the current context owns the
lock by comparing the provided CPU number with the recorded number. This
resembles the current check by negating the condition (the current check
returns true if the lock is not owned).
On PREEMPT_RT use rt_mutex_owner() to return the lock owner and compare
the current task against it.
Use the new helper in __dev_queue_xmit() and netif_local_xmit_active()
which provides a similar check.
Update comments regarding pairing READ_ONCE().
