Subject: [PATCH 09/13] x86: lazy-preempt: properly check against preempt-mask

4.14.109-rt58-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 0f8a27bb5f45cc8a66f488549cecc4ce4d4533c2 ]

should_resched() should check against preempt_offset after unmasking the
need-resched-bit. Otherwise should_resched() won't work for
preempt_offset != 0 and lazy-preempt set.
