This reverts commit 616c310e83b872024271c915c1b9ab505b9efad9.
(Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation).
Testing by Sasha Levin &lt;levinsasha928@gmail.com&gt; showed that this
can result in deadlock due to invoking the scheduler when one of
the runqueue locks is held.  Because this commit was simply a
performance optimization, revert it.

Pull UML updates from Richard Weinberger:
 "Most changes are bug fixes and cleanups"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
  um: missing checks of __put_user()/__get_user() return values
  um: stub_rt_sigsuspend isn't needed these days anymore
  um/x86: merge (and trim) 32- and 64-bit variants of ptrace.h
  irq: Remove irq_chip-&gt;release()
  um: Remove CONFIG_IRQ_RELEASE_METHOD
  um: Remove usage of irq_chip-&gt;release()
  um: Implement um_free_irq()
  um: Fix __swp_type()
  um: Implement a custom pte_same() function
  um: Add BUG() to do_ops()'s error path
  um: Remove unused variables
  um: bury unused _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  um: wrong sigmask saved in case of multiple sigframes
  um: add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
  um: -&gt;restart_block.fn needs to be reset on sigreturn

Instead of using chip-&gt;release() we can achieve the same
using a simple wrapper for free_irq().
We have already um_request_irq(), so um_free_irq() is the perfect
counterpart.

Currently, PREEMPT_RCU readers are enqueued upon entry to the scheduler.
This is inefficient because enqueuing is required only if there is a
context switch, and entry to the scheduler does not guarantee a context
switch.

The commit therefore moves the enqueuing to immediately precede the
call to switch_to() from the scheduler.
