Subject: [PATCH RFC] preempt: Put preempt_enable() within an
 instrumentation*() section.

Callers of preempt_enable() can be within an noinstr section leading to:
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: native_sched_clock+0x97: call to preempt_schedule_notrace_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: kvm_clock_read+0x22: call to preempt_schedule_notrace_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: local_clock+0xb4: call to preempt_schedule_notrace_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: enter_from_user_mode+0xea: call to preempt_schedule_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x140: call to preempt_schedule_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare+0xf2: call to preempt_schedule_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: irqentry_enter_from_user_mode+0xea: call to preempt_schedule_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section

This only happens on CONFIG_PREEMPT+ due to the conditional call into the scheduler.
