Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] drivers/xen/preempt: use need_resched() instead of
 should_resched()

This code is used only when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and only in non-atomic context:
xen_in_preemptible_hcall is set only in privcmd_ioctl_hypercall().
Thus preempt_count is zero and should_resched() is equal to need_resched().
