ovs_frag_data_storage is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.

Move ovs_frag_data_storage into the struct ovs_pcpu_storage which already
provides locking for the structure.

I'm going to reply here, but I need to bisect a bit more (though I
suspect the results below are due to 11/18).  When I tested with this
patch there were lots of "unexplained" latency spikes during processing
(note, I'm not doing PREEMPT_RT in my testing, but I guess it would
smooth the spikes out at the cost of max performance).

With the series:
[SUM]   0.00-300.00 sec  3.28 TBytes  96.1 Gbits/sec  9417             sender
[SUM]   0.00-300.00 sec  3.28 TBytes  96.1 Gbits/sec                  receiver

Without the series:
[SUM]   0.00-300.00 sec  3.26 TBytes  95.5 Gbits/sec  149             sender
[SUM]   0.00-300.00 sec  3.26 TBytes  95.5 Gbits/sec                  receiver

And while the 'final' numbers might look acceptable, one thing I'll note
is I saw multiple stalls as:

[  5]  57.00-58.00  sec   128 KBytes   903 Kbits/sec    0   4.02 MBytes

But without the patch, I didn't see such stalls.  My testing:

1. Install openvswitch userspace and ipcalc
2. start userspace.
3. Setup two netns and connect them (I have a more complicated script to
   set up the flows, and I can send that to you)
4. Use iperf3 to test (-P5 -t 300)

As I wrote I suspect the locking in 11 is leading to these stalls, as
the data I'm sending shouldn't be hitting the frag path.

Do these results seem expected to you?
