sched,perf,kvm: Fix preemption condition

When ran from the sched-out path (preempt_notifier or perf_event),
p->state is irrelevant to determine preemption. You can get preempted
with !task_is_running() just fine.

The right indicator for preemption is if the task is still on the
runqueue in the sched-out path.
