CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is a Kconfig macro, ie it's (in short) to be
defined as a result one of the "*config" make targets. And doing
    git grep -nw PREEMPT_COUNT

gives
    kernel/Kconfig.preempt:38:      select PREEMPT_COUNT
    kernel/Kconfig.preempt:57:config PREEMPT_COUNT
    lib/Kconfig.debug:964:  select PREEMPT_COUNT

And looking at those hits it seems PREEMPT_COUNT will be set, and
therefore CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT defined, if either PREEMPT or
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP are set in a .config.

(I'm not familiar with PREEMPT_COUNT. I think I never used it.)

Hope this helps,
