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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
