At exit_intr label, we test whether interrupt/exception was in kernel.
If it did, we jump to preemption check. If preemption does happen
(IOW if we call preempt_schedule_irq), we go back to exit_intr.
But it's pointless, we already know that test succeeded last time,
preemption doesn't change the fact that interrupt/exception
was in kernel. We can go back directly to checking
PER_CPU_VAR(__preempt_count) instead.
This makes exit_intr label unused. Dropping it.
