The debug.c include is behind CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. This needs to be moved
into debug.c itself so that code can be added regardless of
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. It is not only sched-debug after that.
Then we have `preempt_dynamic_mode' logic which is in core.c but it is
exported and used in debug.c
So if all this is not a concern then I can move it.
