s390/preempt: move preempt_count to the lowcore
Convert s390 to use a field in the struct lowcore for the CPU preemption count. It is a bit cheaper to access a lowcore field compared to a thread_info variable and it removes the depencency on a task related structure. bloat-o-meter on the vmlinux image for the default configuration (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y) reports a small reduction in text size: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 18/578 up/down: 228/-5448 (-5220) A larger improvement is achieved with the default configuration but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=n: add/remove: 2/6 grow/shrink: 59/4477 up/down: 1618/-228762 (-227144) Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
