net: optimize napi_schedule_rps()

Based on initial patch from Jason Xing.

Idea is to not raise NET_RX_SOFTIRQ from napi_schedule_rps()
when we queued a packet into another cpu backlog.

We can do this only in the context of us being called indirectly
from net_rx_action(), to have the guarantee our rps_ipi_list
will be processed before we exit from net_rx_action().
