Subject: sched/preempt, xen: Use need_resched() instead of should_resched()

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <[email protected]>

commit 0fa2f5cb2b0ecd8d56baa51f35f09aab234eb0bf upstream.

This code is used only when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and only in non-atomic context:
xen_in_preemptible_hcall is set only in privcmd_ioctl_hypercall(). Thus preempt_count is zero and should_resched() is equal to need_resched().
