[PATCH/RFC] headers: drop 2 #included headers from

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

It seems that <linux/interrupt.h> does not need <linux/linkage.h>
nor <linux/preempt.h>. 8 kernels builds are successful without
these 2 headers (allmodconfig, allyesconfig, allnoconfig, and
tinyconfig on both i386 and x86_64).

<linux/interrupt.h> is #included 3875 times in 4.16-rc1, so this
reduces #include processing of these 2 files by a total of 7750 times.

Since I only tested x86 builds, this needs to be tested on other
$ARCHes as well.

Does anyone know or see why <linux/interrupt.h> needs <linux/linkage.h> or
<linux/preempt.h>? There are no direct uses in <linux/interrupt.h> AFAICT.
