The XDP redirect process is two staged:
- bpf_prog_run_xdp() is invoked to run a eBPF program which inspects the
  packet and makes decisions. While doing that, the per-CPU variable
  bpf_redirect_info is used.

- Afterwards xdp_do_redirect() is invoked and accesses bpf_redirect_info
  and it may also access other per-CPU variables like xskmap_flush_list.

At the very end of the NAPI callback, xdp_do_flush() is invoked which
does not access bpf_redirect_info but will touch the individual per-CPU
lists.

The per-CPU variables are only used in the NAPI callback hence disabling
bottom halves is the only protection mechanism. Users from preemptible
context (like cpu_map_kthread_run()) explicitly disable bottom halves
for protections reasons.
Without locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure
requires explicit locking.

PREEMPT_RT has forced-threaded interrupts enabled and every
NAPI-callback runs in a thread. If each thread has its own data
structure then locking can be avoided.

Create a struct bpf_net_context which contains struct bpf_redirect_info.
Define the variable on stack, use bpf_net_ctx_set() to save a pointer to
it. Use the __free() annotation to automatically reset the pointer once
function returns.
The bpf_net_ctx_set() may nest. For instance a function can be used from
within NET_RX_SOFTIRQ/ net_rx_action which uses bpf_net_ctx_set() and
NET_TX_SOFTIRQ which does not. Therefore only the first invocations
updates the pointer.
Use bpf_net_ctx_get_ri() as a wrapper to retrieve the current struct
bpf_redirect_info.

On PREEMPT_RT the pointer to bpf_net_context is saved task's
task_struct. On non-PREEMPT_RT builds the pointer saved in a per-CPU
variable (which is always NODE-local memory). Using always the
bpf_net_context approach has the advantage that there is almost zero
differences between PREEMPT_RT and non-PREEMPT_RT builds.

Okay, so if we are going the route of always putting this in 'current',
why not just embed the whole struct bpf_net_context inside task_struct,
instead of mucking about with the stack-allocated structures and
setting/clearing of pointers?
