[PATCH 5/7] sched: Pull preemption disablement duty up to __schedule() callers

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Disable preemption from the last caller of __schedule() that needed to
carry this duty. This way we can remove this responsability from
__scheduler() so to optimize the preempt_count() operations to
a single place on preempt_schedule*() functions.
