Subject[PATCH tip/sched/urgent] sched: revert 498657a478c60be092208422fefa9c7b248729c2
498657a478c60be092208422fefa9c7b248729c2 incorrectly assumed that
preempt wasn't disabled around context_switch() and thus was fixing
imaginary problem. It also broke kvm because it depended on
->sched_in() to be called with irq enabled so that it can do smp calls
from there.

Revert the incorrect commit and add comment describing different
contexts under with the two callbacks are invoked.

Again, my apologies for the unnecessary fuss. I for some reason was
thinking schedule_tail() is always called after context_switch() and
the ifdefed preemption enable there led me to think that at that point
preemption was enabled once lock switch is over.

Thank you.
