The backlog_napi locking (previously RPS) relies on explicit locking if either RPS or backlog NAPI is enabled. If both are disabled then locking was achieved by disabling interrupts except on PREEMPT_RT. PREEMPT_RT was excluded because the needed synchronisation was already provided local_bh_disable(). Since the introduction of backlog NAPI and making it mandatory for PREEMPT_RT the ifdef within backlog_lock.*() is obsolete and can be removed. Remove the ifdefs in backlog_lock.*().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
