Softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT. Without a per-CPU lock in
local_bh_disable() there is no guarantee that only one device is
transmitting at a time.
With preemption and multiple senders it is possible that the per-CPU
`recursion' counter gets incremented by different threads and exceeds
XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT leading to a false positive recursion alert.
The `more' member is subject to similar problems if set by one thread
for one driver and wrongly used by another driver within another thread.

Instead of adding a lock to protect the per-CPU variable it is simpler
to make xmit per-task. Sending and receiving skbs happens always
in thread context anyway.

Having a lock to protected the per-CPU counter would block/ serialize two
sending threads needlessly. It would also require a recursive lock to
ensure that the owner can increment the counter further.

Make the softnet_data.xmit a task_struct member on PREEMPT_RT. Add
needed wrapper.

This declaration was added to the header to be called from ethtool.
ethtool is separated from core for code organization but it is not really
a separate entity, it controls very core things.
As ethtool is an internal stuff it is not wise to have it in netdevice.h.
Move the declaration to net/core/dev.h instead.

Remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL call as ethtool can not be built as a module.

We had to add another synchronize_rcu() in recent fix.
Bite the bullet and add an rcu_head to netdev_name_node,
free from RCU.

Note that name_node does not hold any reference on dev
to which it points, but there must be a synchronize_rcu()
on device removal path, so we should be fine.

Mark reports a BUG() when a net namespace is removed.

    kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:11520!

Physical interfaces moved outside of init_net get "refunded"
to init_net when that namespace disappears. The main interface
name may get overwritten in the process if it would have
conflicted. We need to also discard all conflicting altnames.
Recent fixes addressed ensuring that altnames get moved
with the main interface, which surfaced this problem.
