Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arm64: enable PREEMPT_LAZY

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

For an architecture to enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RESCHED_LAZY, two things are
required:
1) Adding a TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY flag definition
2) Checking for TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY in the appropriate locations

2) is handled in a generic manner by CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY, which isn't
(yet) implemented for arm64. However, outside of core scheduler code,
TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY only needs to be checked on a kernel exit, meaning:
o return/entry to userspace.
o return/entry to guest.

The return/entry to a guest is all handled by xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work()
which already does the right thing, so it can be left as-is.

arm64 doesn't use common entry's exit_to_user_mode_prepare(), so update its
return to user path to check for TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY and call into
schedule() accordingly.
