[PATCH 01/14] sched, kvm: fix race condition involving sched_in_preempt_notifers

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is called
after finish_lock_switch().  However, depending on architecture,
preemption can be enabled after finish_lock_switch() which breaks the
semantics of preempt notifiers.  Move it before finish_arch_switch().
This also makes in notifiers symmetric to out notifiers in terms of
locking - now both are called under rq lock.
