When we warn about a preempt_count leak; reset the preempt_count to the known good value such that the problem does not ripple forward. This is most important on x86 which has a per cpu preempt_count that is not saved/restored (after this series). So if you schedule with an invalid (!2*PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET) preempt_count the next task is messed up too. Enforcing this invariant limits the borkage to just the one task.
