cover x86: reimplement ___preempt_schedule*() using THUNK helpers

Peter, please consider this (hopefully simple) change for inclusion.

Denys, Andy, could you review?

I guess (I hope ;) Denys is going to resend his entry.S/etc rework, but this change should not conflict with his work, just preempt.S goes away.

Oleg.

PATCH 1/2 x86: reimplement ___preempt_schedule*() using THUNK helpers

___preempt_schedule() does SAVE_ALL/RESTORE_ALL but this is suboptimal, we do not need to save/restore the callee-saved register. And we already have arch/x86/lib/thunk_*.S which implements the similar asm wrappers, so it makes sense to redefine ___preempt_schedule() as "THUNK ..." and remove preempt.S altogether.

PATCH 2/2 x86, lib/Makefile: remove the unnecessary "+= thunk_64.o"

In reply to Oleg Nesterov

Trivial. We have "lib-y += thunk_$(BITS).o" at the start, no need to add thunk_64.o if !CONFIG_X86_32.

I think THUNK should be thunk_ra here;
or thunk_ra should be renamed to THUNK (like it is in thunk_64.S)

Of course! Thanks a lot Denys.
