Subject: sched/preempt, powerpc, kvm: Use need_resched() instead of
should_resched()
From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebni...@yandex-team.ru>
commit c56dadf39761a6157239cac39e3988998c994f98 upstream.
Function should_resched() is equal to (!preempt_count() && need_resched()).
In preemptive kernel preempt_count here is non-zero because of vc->lock.
