preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related
symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched,
etc...

preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count.

But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files:

	* preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count()

	* preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols
	  except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h
	  Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including
	  asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the
	  other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics
	  happen to be spread out.

	* We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate
	  preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count
	  mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols
	  (PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt
	  operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in
	  preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with
	  a ressource circle dependency.

Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues.
This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of
preempt_count in a single file.

This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are
performed in a subsequent patch to ease review.

<title>sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able()</title>

Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason.
So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the
function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on
load/store archs).

Also expose two new local_bh functions:

  __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt);

Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour.

The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock
functions.

With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

<title>softirq: remove useless function __local_bh_enable</title>

Impact: remove unused code

__local_bh_enable has been replaced with _local_bh_enable.
As comments says "it always nests inside local_bh_enable() sections"
has not been valid now. Also there is no reason to use __local_bh_enable
anywhere, so we can remove this useless function.

With CONFIG_SMP=n:

  drivers/input/ff-memless.c:384: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_disable'
  drivers/input/ff-memless.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_enable'

Really linux/spinlock.h should include linux/interrupt.h.  But interrupt.h
includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h.

So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and
includes it in both interrupt.h and spinlock.h.
