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.
