Yes it is by default anyway:

$ cat /mnt/dbg/sched_features
GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS START_DEBIT NO_NEXT_BUDDY LAST_BUDDY CACHE_HOT_BUDDY NO_WAKEUP_PREEMPTION ARCH_POWER NO_HRTICK NO_DOUBLE_TICK LB_BIAS OWNER_SPIN NONTASK_POWER TTWU_QUEUE NO_FORCE_SD_OVERLAP RT_RUNTIME_SHARE NO_LB_MIN

NO_WAKEUP_PREEMPTION brings 9% improvement with pgbench, btw:
