lockdep: Introduce in_softirq lockdep assert
The current semantic for napi_consume_skb() is that caller need to provide non-zero budget when calling from NAPI context, and breaking this semantic will cause hard to debug problem, because _kfree_skb_defer() need to run in atomic context in order to push the skb to the particular cpu' napi_alloc_cache atomically. So add the lockdep_assert_in_softirq() to assert when the running context is not in_softirq, in_softirq means softirq is serving or BH is disabled, which has a ambiguous semantics due to the BH disabled confusion, so add a comment to emphasize that. And the softirq context can be interrupted by hard IRQ or NMI context, lockdep_assert_in_softirq() need to assert about hard IRQ or NMI context too.
