    commit ef0491ea upstream.
    
    The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug
    regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched:
    
    As part of:
    
      62b94a08 ("sched/preempt: Take away preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules")
    
    the definition of preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in
    built-in code, not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use
    it from header files.
    
    However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch()
    calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static
    inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot
    include asm/mmu_context.h from modules.
    
    With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from
    linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would
    expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from
    the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile
    time error with modular configs:
    
      In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0,
                       from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18:
      ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch':
      ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
         preempt_enable_no_resched();
    
    Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h
    from asm/mmu_context.h, but that didn't help. Arnd suggested reordering
    the header files, which wasn't popular, so let's use this
    workaround instead:
    
    The finish_arch_post_lock_switch() definition is now also hidden
    inside of #ifdef MODULE, so we don't see anything referencing
    preempt_enable_no_resched() from a header file. I've built a
    few hundred randconfig kernels with this, and did not see any
    new problems.
