Frederic Weisbecker a18b5d0181 sched: Fix missing preemption opportunity
If an interrupt fires in cond_resched(), between the call to __schedule()
and the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count decrementation, and that interrupt sets
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, the call to preempt_schedule_irq() will be ignored
due to the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count. This kind of scenario, with irq preemption
being delayed because it's interrupting a preempt-disabled area, is
usually fixed up after preemption is re-enabled back with an explicit
call to preempt_schedule().

This is what preempt_enable() does but a raw preempt count decrement as
performed by __preempt_count_sub(PREEMPT_ACTIVE) doesn't handle delayed
preemption check. Therefore when such a race happens, the rescheduling
is going to be delayed until the next scheduler or preemption entrypoint.
This can be a problem for scheduler latency sensitive workloads.

Lets fix that by consolidating cond_resched() with preempt_schedule()
internals.
