sched: Prepare for per-cpu preempt_count
When using per-cpu preempt_count variables we need to save/restore the
preempt_count on context switch (into per task storage; for instance
the old thread_info::preempt_count variable) because of
PREEMPT_ACTIVE.
However, this means that on fork() the preempt_count value of the last
context switch gets copied and if we had a PREEMPT_ACTIVE switch right
before cloning a child task the child task will now too have
PREEMPT_ACTIVE set and start its life with an extra PREEMPT_ACTIVE
count.
Therefore we need to make init_task_preempt_count() unconditional;
this resets whatever preempt_count we inherited from our parent
process.
Doing so for !per-cpu implementations is harmless.
For !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels we need to be careful not to start life
with an increased preempt_count.
