Subject: net: Remove preemption disabling in netif_rx()

From: Priyanka Jain <[email-masked]>

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.

-Replace preempt_enable(), preempt_disable() with
 migrate_enable(), migrate_disable() respectively
-Replace get_cpu(), put_cpu() with get_cpu_light(),
 put_cpu_light() respectively
