Subject: [PATCH] net: Use this_cpu_inc() to increment net->core_stats

The macro dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() disables preemption and invokes
netdev_core_stats_alloc() to return a per-CPU pointer.
netdev_core_stats_alloc() will allocate memory on its first invocation
which breaks on PREEMPT_RT because it requires non-atomic context for
memory allocation.

This can be avoided by enabling preemption in netdev_core_stats_alloc()
assuming the caller always disables preemption.

It might be better to replace local_inc() with this_cpu_inc() now that
dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() gained a preempt-disable section and does
not rely on already disabled preemption. This results in less
instructions on x86-64:
local_inc:
|          incl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip)  # __preempt_count
|          movq    488(%rdi), %rax # _1->core_stats, _22
|          testq   %rax, %rax      # _22
|          je      .L585   #,
|          add %gs:this_cpu_off(%rip), %rax        # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__
|  .L586:
|          testq   %rax, %rax      # _27
|          je      .L587   #,
|          incq (%rax)            # _6->a.counter
|  .L587:
|          decl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip)  # __preempt_count

this_cpu_inc(), this patch:
|         movq    488(%rdi), %rax # _1->core_stats, _5
|         testq   %rax, %rax      # _5
|         je      .L591   #,
| .L585:
|         incq %gs:(%rax) # _18->rx_dropped

Use unsigned long as type for the counter. Use this_cpu_inc() to
increment the counter. Use a plain read of the counter.
