Sebastian Andrzej Siewior f234ae2947 net: dev: Remove preempt_disable() and get_cpu() in netif_rx_internal(). 
The preempt_disable() () section was introduced in commit
    cece1945bf ("net: disable preemption before call smp_processor_id()")

and adds it in case this function is invoked from preemtible context and
because get_cpu() later on as been added.

The get_cpu() usage was added in commit
    b0e28f1eff ("net: netif_rx() must disable preemption")

because ip_dev_loopback_xmit() invoked netif_rx() with enabled preemption
causing a warning in smp_processor_id(). The function netif_rx() should
only be invoked from an interrupt context which implies disabled
preemption. The commit
   e30b38c298 ("ip: Fix ip_dev_loopback_xmit()")

was addressing this and replaced netif_rx() with in netif_rx_ni() in
ip_dev_loopback_xmit().

Based on the discussion on the list, the former patch (b0e28f1eff)
should not have been applied only the latter (e30b38c298).

Remove get_cpu() and preempt_disable() since the function is supposed to
be invoked from context with stable per-CPU pointers. Bottom halves have
to be disabled at this point because the function may raise softirqs
which need to be processed.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
