It seems to me that powerpc and sparc are still using it?
$ git grep SCHEDULE_USER
arch/powerpc/include/asm/context_tracking.h:#define SCHEDULE_USER bl schedule_user
arch/powerpc/include/asm/context_tracking.h:#define SCHEDULE_USER bl schedule
arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S: SCHEDULE_USER
arch/sparc/kernel/rtrap_64.S:# define SCHEDULE_USER schedule_user
arch/sparc/kernel/rtrap_64.S:# define SCHEDULE_USER schedule
arch/sparc/kernel/rtrap_64.S: call SCHEDULE_USER
Cheers
