[PATCH] arm64: remove redundant preempt.h

[PATCH] arm64: remove redundant preempt.h

[Yang Shi]

preempt.h has been included by sched.h, so it is not necessary to include
both, just keep sched.h.

Signed-off-by: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linaro.org>
---
Happened to find this when checking preempt.h include for another patch review.
Build test is passed with and without CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled.

I don't really see the point in it, to be honest. Relying on implicit
#includes is usually a bad idea, there are other files in the kernel
including both of these headers and there's not actually a problem to
fix as far as I can tell.

FWIW, in this case we aren't relying on implicit includes. That's when
you explicitly use something but haven't included the relevant header
directly.

For everything we explicitly use, we have included the relevant headers.

Anything that uses preempt.h implicitly should've pulled in preempt.h
via its headers.

Up to you.

The patch does appear correct in that the include is redundant, but its
presence is admittedly not harmful.
