rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()

If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.

Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".
