Current usage of preempt dynamic key is not specific to architecture and
can be moved into sched/core instead. Most of the code around it looks
similar. (same code for powerpc, arm64). 
Since preemption is more associated with scheduler rather than
entry/exit, it is probably better it should be moved. 
This is tested on powerVM PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y/n and on arm64 by Mark
v1->v2:
- Rebase to 6.16-rc6
- Collected the tags
Ingo, Peter, 
Can this go via tip sched tree? 
Both arm64, powerpc have acked the changes and been tested.
