Sebastian Andrzej Siewior c11171a413 net: Add netif_rx_any_context() 
Quite some drivers make conditional decisions based on in_interrupt() to
invoke either netif_rx() or netif_rx_ni().

Conditionals based on in_interrupt() or other variants of preempt count
checks in drivers should not exist for various reasons and Linus clearly
requested to either split the code pathes or pass an argument to the
common functions which provides the context.

This is obviously the correct solution, but for some of the affected
drivers this needs a major rewrite due to their convoluted structure.

As in_interrupt() usage in drivers needs to be phased out, provide
netif_rx_any_context() as a stop gap for these drivers.

This confines the in_interrupt() conditional to core code which in turn
allows to remove the access to this check for driver code and provides one
central place to do further modifications once the driver maze is cleaned
up.
