We need a few special preempt_count accessors:
- task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption
count of another (non-running) task.
- init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption
count.
- init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle
threads.
With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count
anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.

In order to prepare to per-arch implementations of preempt_count move
the required bits into an asm-generic header and use this for all
archs.
