sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count

In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to
fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value.

Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an
atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making
preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED
infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into
preempt_count; namely:

 - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task
 - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a
                   remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI
                   and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from
                   there.
 - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling().

We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means
both need_resched and !atomic.

Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid
having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use
the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane
reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched()
already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.
