[PATCH] softirq: Introduce SOFTIRQ_FORCED_THREADING

[PATCH] softirq: Introduce SOFTIRQ_FORCED_THREADING

[Wang Qing]

At present, whether the softirq is executed when the interrupt exits 
is controlled by IRQ_FORCED_THREADING. This is unreasonable. It should 
be split and allowed to take effect separately.

At the same time, we should increase the priority of ksoftirqd when
forbidden to execute in interrupt exits. I refer to the implementation 
of PREEMPT_RT and think it is reasonable.

+	 This option will force the softirq to be executed in ksoftirqd,
+	 cancel its execution timing when the interrupt exits, and change
+	 ksoftirqd to a real-time process.

+	 In this way, the execution of softirq can be executed more balanced,

+	 in the RT process can be reduced.
