The commit 0a7992c90828a65 acpi: fix bogus preemption logic

tried again to fix the preempt logic by encapsulating the
ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() with a #ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT and only testing
irqsoff. But when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, the
preempt count is still active. This code is called at boot up when
preemption is still disabled triggering the above dump.

Ideally, in_atomic() should not be used in general code, but I'm not
sure what should be used. This does silent the warning, and it should
not be an issue while it is still encapsulated in #ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT
