I had to look at this for quite some time before it sank in that it wasn't
a reset of a #define, or a reset of (1) (anybody else remember changing the
value of '5' in a Fortran program?). Especially when stuck in with a bunch
of cputimer defines. Would have taken even longer if I was looking in sched.h
for something and not looking at this patch at the same time.

Can we fix this comment to mention it's thread_info.preempt_count that
needs the reset?
