sched/preempt: Merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h

preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related
symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched,
etc...

preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count.

But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files:

	* preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count()

	* preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols
	  except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h
	  Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including
	  asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the
	  other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics
	  happen to be spread out.

	* We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate
	  preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count
	  mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols
	  (PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt
	  operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in
	  preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with
	  a ressource circle dependency.

Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues.
This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of
preempt_count in a single file.

This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are
performed in a subsequent patch to ease review.
