1)enqueue_to_backlog() (called from netif_rx) should be
bind to a particluar CPU. This can be achieved by
disabling migration. No need to disable preemption
2)Fixes crash "BUG: scheduling while atomic: ksoftirqd"
in case of RT.
If preemption is disabled, enqueue_to_backog() is called
in atomic context. And if backlog exceeds its count,
kfree_skb() is called. But in RT, kfree_skb() might
gets scheduled out, so it expects non atomic context.
3)When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is not defined,
migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() maps to
preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), so no
change in functionality in case of non-RT.
-Replace preempt_enable(), preempt_disable() with
migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() respectively
-Replace get_cpu(), put_cpu() with get_cpu_light(),
put_cpu_light() respectively
