ksoftirqd: Enable IRQs and call cond_resched() before poking RCU
While debugging an issue with excessive softirq usage, I encountered the
following note in commit 3e339b5dae
("softirq: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure"):
[ paulmck: Call rcu_note_context_switch() with interrupts enabled. ]
...but despite this note, the patch still calls RCU with IRQs disabled.
This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq
CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when
introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%,
spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%.
Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call,
as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this
problem.
