sched_preempt_enable_no_resched() still enables preemption. It just
avoids the check. And it still allows preemption when an interrupt
triggering preemption happens between sched_preempt_enable_no_resched()
and __schedule() disabling preemption/interrupts.

So no, your new variant is just differently bogus and misleading.
