I did not include preempt.h in rcupdate_types.h because rcupdate.h did
not include it, so I thought it had a special status such a kernel.h.
However, I notice the rcupdate.h includes spinlock.h, which in turn
includes preempt.h, so we would need to include preempt.h in
rcupdate_types.h.

But I think preempt.h is pretty much only type definitions. I don't
think that would be a problem, but maybe Jeremy knows better.
