net: enqueue_to_backlog() change vs not running device

If the device attached to the packet given to enqueue_to_backlog()
is not running, we drop the packet.

But we accidentally increase sd->dropped, giving false signals
to admins: sd->dropped should be reserved to cpu backlog pressure,
not to temporary glitches at device dismantles.

While we are at it, perform the netif_running() test before
we get the rps lock, and use REASON_DEV_READY
drop reason instead of NOT_SPECIFIED.
