Merge branch 'locking-introduce-nested-bh-locking'

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior says:

====================
locking: Introduce nested-BH locking.

Disabling bottoms halves acts as per-CPU BKL. On PREEMPT_RT code within
local_bh_disable() section remains preemtible. As a result high prior
tasks (or threaded interrupts) will be blocked by lower-prio task (or
threaded interrupts) which are long running which includes softirq
sections.

The proposed way out is to introduce explicit per-CPU locks for
resources which are protected by local_bh_disable() and use those only
on PREEMPT_RT so there is no additional overhead for !PREEMPT_RT builds.

The series introduces the infrastructure and converts large parts of
networking which is largest stake holder here. Once this done the
per-CPU lock from local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT can be lifted.

Performance testing. Baseline is net-next as of commit 93bda33046e7a
("Merge branch'net-constify-ctl_table-arguments-of-utility-functions'")
plus v6.10-rc1. A 10GiG link is used between two hosts. The command
   xdp-bench redirect-cpu --cpu 3 --remote-action drop eth1 -e

was invoked on the receiving side with a ixgbe. The sending side uses
pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh on i40e.
