Subject: [PATCH] sched: reassign prev and switch_count when
reacquire_kernel_lock() fail

Assume A->B schedule is processing, if B have acquired BKL before and
it need reschedule this time. Then on B's context, it will go to
need_resched_nonpreemptible for reschedule. But at this time, prev
and switch_count are related to A. It's wrong and will lead to
incorrect scheduler statistics.
