Subject[RFC][PATCH 01/11] sched: Simplify INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
As per commit d86ee4809d03 ("sched: optimize cond_resched()") we need
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before the
scheduler is setup.

However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing already,
making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant.
