Since commit 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in
sk_busy_loop()") there is an explicit do_softirq() invocation after
local_bh_enable() has been invoked.
I don't understand why we need this because local_bh_enable() will
invoke do_softirq() once the softirq counter reached zero and we have
softirq-related work pending.

preemption is disabled.

Look at netif_rx_ni() for a similar construct.

What exact problem do you have with existing code, that is worth
adding this change ?

Thanks.
