sched, x86: Provide a per-cpu preempt_count implementation
Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
thread_info variables.
We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to
PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the
same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as
current_task.
NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as
cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore
task_struct::state.
Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is
'accidentally' still poking at it.
