Re: [PATCH 4/5] sched: dynamic: Simplify irqentry_exit_cond_resched()

+cc Christophe.

PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is now limited to the FULL and LAZY preemption models.
In either model, irqentry_exit_cond_resched() is always called and never
disabled.

Remove the unnecessary code for this when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is selected.

JFYI,
Christophe had sent this patch, I am sure you guys will sort out the
conflicts. (I don't see it merged yet, but likely might)

Change per se, looks good to me.
