To test I put a schedule here and it says OOPS we are attomic.
I added preempt_disable and preempt_enable to be sure preemption is
disabled anyway.

Fortunatly check_vector_unaligned_access already checks this.

That makes a lot of sence I'm not sure why I didnt think ot that.
I changed it to `all_cpus_vec_unsupported` so it will check the speed if
atleast one cpu has unaligned vector support.
