This looks wrong, what do you want to find? _any_ preemption? In that
case PREEMPT_ACTIVE is wrong. What you need to check is if the task is
still on the RQ or not.

If the task was put to sleep it got dequeued, if it was not dequeued, it
got preempted.

PREEMPT_ACTIVE is only ever set for forced kernel preemption, which is a
special sub case only ever triggered with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
