[RFC][PATCH 01/11] sched: Simplify INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-kill-preempt_active-1.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1285 bytes --]

As per commit d86ee4809d03 ("sched: optimize cond_resched()") we need
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before the
scheduler is setup.

However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing already,
making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant.
