From: Pavankumar Kondeti <pkondeti@codeaurora.org>

Defer the softirq processing to ksoftirqd if a RT task is
running or queued on the current CPU. This complements the RT
task placement algorithm which tries to find a CPU that is not
currently busy with softirqs.

Currently NET_TX, NET_RX, BLOCK and TASKLET softirqs are only
deferred as they can potentially run for long time.

Additionally, this patch stubs out ksoftirqd_running() logic,
in the CONFIG_RT_SOFTIRQ_OPTIMIZATION case, as deferring
potentially long-running softirqs will cause the logic to not
process shorter-running softirqs immediately. By stubbing it out
the potentially long running softirqs are deferred, but the
shorter running ones can still run immediately.

This patch includes folded-in fixes by:
  Lingutla Chandrasekhar <clingutla@codeaurora.org>
  Satya Durga Srinivasu Prabhala <satyap@codeaurora.org>
  J. Avila <elavila@google.com>
