Subject[PATCH 02/15] sched, preempt: Fixup missed PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED folding
With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people
calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper.

Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing
TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations.

While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the
existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits
right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but
right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop.

So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're
guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.
