Subject: [PATCH] Move PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS into an always-included Kconfig

Kconfig.preempt is not included on some archs (for example, m68k).  On those
archs, the Kconfig machinery complains that KVM selects an undefined symbol
PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS (which lives in Kconfig.preempt).  Pointing out that this
is a Kconfig bug does not seem to silence the error, so move the offending
symbol into a Kconfig file which is included by everyone.
