Subject: net: move xmit_recursion to per-task variable on -RT

A softirq on -RT can be preempted. That means one task is in
__dev_queue_xmit(), gets preempted and another task may enter
__dev_queue_xmit() aw well. netperf together with a bridge device
will then trigger the `recursion alert` because each task increments
the xmit_recursion variable which is per-CPU.
A virtual device like br0 is required to trigger this warning.

This patch moves the counter to per task instead per-CPU so it counts
the recursion properly on -RT.
