sched/core: Simplify INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
As per the following commit: d86ee4809d03 ("sched: optimize cond_resched()") we need PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before the scheduler is set up. However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing already, making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant. The only complication is !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, where PREEMPT_DISABLED ends up being 0. Instead we use an unconditional PREEMPT_OFFSET to set preempt_count() even on !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels.
