sched: Kill task_preempt_count()

task_preempt_count() is pointless if preemption counter is per-cpu,
currently this is x86 only. It is only valid if the task is not
running, and even in this case the only info it can provide is the
state of PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit.

Change its single caller to check p->on_rq instead, this should be
the same if p->state != TASK_RUNNING, and kill this helper.
