sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context()
preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end
and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy
and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again.

1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched()
   by hand.

2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid
   the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case
   we need to move into sched/core.c.

3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't
   really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it
   make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match
   preempt_schedule().
