Sebastian Andrzej Siewior e22db7bd55 net: sched: Allow statistics reads from softirq.
Eric reported that the rate estimator reads statics from the softirq
which in turn triggers a warning introduced in the statistics rework.

The warning is too cautious. The updates happen in the softirq context
so reads from softirq are fine since the writes can not be preempted.
The updates/writes happen during qdisc_run() which ensures one writer
and the softirq context.
The remaining bad context for reading statistics remains in hard-IRQ
because it may preempt a writer.

Fixes: 29cbcd8582 ("net: sched: Remove Qdisc::running sequence counter")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
