Subject: [PATCH 0/1] powerpc, arm64: move preempt dynamic key into kernel/sched

Current usage of preempt dynamic key is not specific to architecture and
can be moved into sched/core instead. Most of the code around it looks
similar. (same code for powerpc, arm64). 

Since preemption is more associated with scheduler rather than
entry/exit, it is probably better that they should be moved. 

This is tested on powerVM PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y/n. 

Only Compile tested on arm64. It would be great if someone can test both 
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y/n configs there.
