      net: fix problem in dequeuing from input_pkt_queue · 76cc8b13

      Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
      The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
      after a packet has been processed, that is only after
      __netif_receive_skb has been called.  This is needed for the mechanism
      to prevent OOO packet in RFS.  Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
      and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
      OOO packets.
      
      Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
      the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct.  The correct value
      would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len.  To avoid
      this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
      The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.
