[PATCH] sched/core: don't include asm/mmu_context from drivers

The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug
regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched:

As part of 62b94a08da1b ("sched/preempt: Take away
preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules"), the definition of
preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in built-in code,
not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use it from header
files. However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch()
calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static
inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot
include asm/mmu_context.h from modules.

With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from
linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would
expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from
the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile
time error:

In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0,
from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18:
../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch':
../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
preempt_enable_no_resched();

Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h
from asm/mmu_context.h, but that obviously didn't help.

This reverts the earlier fix attempt and works around the problem
by including both linux/mmu_context.h and asm/mmu_context.h from
kernel/sched/core.c. This is not a good solution but seems less
hacky than the alternatives.
