Peter Zijlstra 609ca06638 sched/core: Create preempt_count invariant
Assuming units of PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET for preempt_count() numbers.

Now that TASK_DEAD no longer results in preempt_count() == 3 during
scheduling, we will always call context_switch() with preempt_count()
== 2.

However, we don't always end up with preempt_count() == 2 in
finish_task_switch() because new tasks get created with
preempt_count() == 1.

Create FORK_PREEMPT_COUNT and set it to 2 and use that in the right
places. Note that we cannot use INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT as that serves
another purpose (boot).

After this, preempt_count() is invariant across the context switch,
with exception of PREEMPT_ACTIVE.
