sched/core: Add preempt checks in preempt_schedule() code
While testing the tracer preemptoff, I hit this strange trace:

As I'm tracing preemption disabled, it seemed incorrect that the trace
would go across a schedule and report not being in the scheduler.
Looking into this I discovered the problem.
schedule() calls preempt_disable() but the preempt_schedule() calls
preempt_enable_notrace(). What happened above was that the gnome-shell
task was preempted on another CPU, migrated over to the idle cpu. The
tracer stared with idle calling schedule(), which called
preempt_disable(), but then gnome-shell finished, and it enabled
preemption with preempt_enable_notrace() that does stop the trace, even
though preemption was enabled.
The purpose of the preempt_disable_notrace() in the preempt_schedule()
is to prevent function tracing from going into an infinite loop.
Because function tracing can trace the preempt_enable/disable() calls
that are traced. The problem with function tracing is:
NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule()
preempt_disable()
preempt_count_inc()
function trace (before incrementing preempt count)
preempt_disable_notrace()
preempt_enable_notrace()
sees NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule() (repeat)
Now by breaking out the preempt off/on tracing into their own code:
preempt_disable_check() and preempt_enable_check(), we can add these to
the preempt_schedule() code. As preemption would then be disabled, even
if they were to be traced by the function tracer, the disabled
preemption would prevent the recursion.
