Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] preempt/dynamic: Introduce preemption model accessors

CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY} designate either:
o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

IOW, using those on PREEMPT_DYNAMIC kernels is meaningless - the actual
model could have been set to something else by the "preempt=foo" cmdline
parameter. Same problem applies to CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

Introduce a set of helpers to determine the actual preemption model used by
the live kernel.
