sched/x86: Add stack frame dependency to __preempt_schedule[_notrace]()

If __preempt_schedule() or __preempt_schedule_notrace() is referenced at
the beginning of a function, gcc can insert the asm inline "call
___preempt_schedule[_notrace]" instruction before setting up a stack
frame, which breaks frame pointer convention if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is
enabled and can result in bad stack traces.

Force a stack frame to be created if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled by
listing the stack pointer as an output operand for the inline asm
statements.

Specifically this fixes the following stacktool warnings:

  stacktool: drivers/scsi/hpsa.o: hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd.constprop.106()+0x79: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x70: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x92: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0xff: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0xf5: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0x11a: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_get()+0x225: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: kernel/locking/percpu-rwsem.o: percpu_up_read()+0x27: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: kernel/profile.o: do_profile_hits.isra.5()+0x139: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: lib/nmi_backtrace.o: nmi_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()+0x2b6: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_recv()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_send()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_recv.o: rds_ib_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_recv_cq_comp_handler()+0x55: call without frame pointer save/setup

So it only adds a stack frame to 15 call sites out of ~5000 calls to
___preempt_schedule[_notrace]().  All the others already had stack frames.

Oddly, this change actually seems to make things faster in a lot of
cases.  For many smaller functions it causes the stack frame creation to
get moved out of the common path and into the unlikely path.

For example, here's the original cyc2ns_read_end():

  ffffffff8101f8c0 <cyc2ns_read_end>:
  ffffffff8101f8c0:	55                   	push   %rbp
  ffffffff8101f8c1:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp
  ffffffff8101f8c4:	83 6f 10 01          	subl   $0x1,0x10(%rdi)
  ffffffff8101f8c8:	75 08                	jne    ffffffff8101f8d2 <cyc2ns_read_end+0x12>
  ffffffff8101f8ca:	65 48 89 3d e6 5a ff 	mov    %rdi,%gs:0x7eff5ae6(%rip)        # 153b8 <cyc2ns+0x38>
  ffffffff8101f8d1:	7e
  ffffffff8101f8d2:	65 ff 0d 77 c4 fe 7e 	decl   %gs:0x7efec477(%rip)        # bd50 <__preempt_count>
  ffffffff8101f8d9:	74 02                	je     ffffffff8101f8dd <cyc2ns_read_end+0x1d>
  ffffffff8101f8db:	5d                   	pop    %rbp
  ffffffff8101f8dc:	c3                   	retq
  ffffffff8101f8dd:	e8 1e 37 fe ff       	callq  ffffffff81003000 <___preempt_schedule>
  ffffffff8101f8e2:	5d                   	pop    %rbp
  ffffffff8101f8e3:	c3                   	retq
  ffffffff8101f8e4:	66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 	data16 data16 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
  ffffffff8101f8eb:	00 00 00 00 00

And here's the same function with the patch:

  ffffffff8101f8c0 <cyc2ns_read_end>:
  ffffffff8101f8c0:	83 6f 10 01          	subl   $0x1,0x10(%rdi)
  ffffffff8101f8c4:	75 08                	jne    ffffffff8101f8ce <cyc2ns_read_end+0xe>
  ffffffff8101f8c6:	65 48 89 3d ea 5a ff 	mov    %rdi,%gs:0x7eff5aea(%rip)        # 153b8 <cyc2ns+0x38>
  ffffffff8101f8cd:	7e
  ffffffff8101f8ce:	65 ff 0d 7b c4 fe 7e 	decl   %gs:0x7efec47b(%rip)        # bd50 <__preempt_count>
  ffffffff8101f8d5:	74 01                	je     ffffffff8101f8d8 <cyc2ns_read_end+0x18>
  ffffffff8101f8d7:	c3                   	retq
  ffffffff8101f8d8:	55                   	push   %rbp
  ffffffff8101f8d9:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp
  ffffffff8101f8dc:	e8 1f 37 fe ff       	callq  ffffffff81003000 <___preempt_schedule>
  ffffffff8101f8e1:	5d                   	pop    %rbp
  ffffffff8101f8e2:	c3                   	retq
  ffffffff8101f8e3:	66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 	data16 data16 data16 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
  ffffffff8101f8ea:	84 00 00 00 00 00

Notice that it moved the frame pointer setup code to the unlikely
___preempt_schedule() call path.  Going through a sampling of the
differences in the asm, that's the most common change I see.

Otherwise it has no real effect on callers which already have stack
frames (though it does result in the reordering of some 'mov's).
