Merge branch 'net-rps-rfs-improvements'

====================
net: rps/rfs improvements

Jason Xing attempted to optimize napi_schedule_rps() by avoiding
unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ raises: [1], [2]

This is quite complex to implement properly. I chose to implement
the idea, and added a similar optimization in ____napi_schedule()

Overall, in an intensive RPC workload, with 32 TX/RX queues with RFS
I was able to observe a ~10% reduction of NET_RX_SOFTIRQ
invocations.

While this had no impact on throughput or cpu costs on this synthetic
benchmark, we know that firing NET_RX_SOFTIRQ from softirq handler
can force __do_softirq() to wakeup ksoftirqd when need_resched() is true.
This can have a latency impact on stressed hosts.
