Nah, if there is 1 runnable task it will always run, preemption simply
doesn't matter. There's nothing to preempt it with.

I've queued Lin's patch as I don't see the point of this thing either,
normally WAKEUP_PREEMPT is enabled so it says || 0 which is kinda
useless :-)

And I'm starting to think we should just kill all of WAKEUP_PREEMPT I
don't think we ever want to disable it anyway..
