Re: [PATCH net-next v3 05/18] xdp: Use nested-BH locking for system_page_pool

system_page_pool is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.

Make a struct with a page_pool member (original system_page_pool) and a
local_lock_t and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change
adds only lockdep coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour
for !PREEMPT_RT.

I'm a little fuzzy on how DEFINE_PER_CPU() works, but does this
initialisation automatically do the right thing with the multiple
per-CPU instances?

Hmm, instead of having four separate unlock calls in this function, how
about initialising skb = NULL, and having the unlock call just above
'return skb' with an out: label?

Then the three topmost 'return NULL' can just straight-forwardly be
replaced with 'goto out', while the last one becomes 'skb = NULL; goto
out;'. I think that would be more readable than this repetition.
