sched/core: 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.
