Subject: [PATCH 199/325] net: provide a way to delegate processing a softirq
 to ksoftirqd
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.115-rt48.tar.xz

If the NET_RX uses up all of his budget it moves the following NAPI
invocations into the `ksoftirqd`. On -RT it does not do so. Instead it
rises the NET_RX softirq in its current context again.

In order to get closer to mainline's behaviour this patch provides
__raise_softirq_irqoff_ksoft() which raises the softirq in the ksoftird.
