net: fix problem in dequeuing from input_pkt_queue
Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue. The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only after a packet has been processed, that is only after __netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent OOO packets. Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues, the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data. The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.
