I had a patch quite similar to yours and I ended up with the error report
from the kbuild robot. Just tried yours with the corgi_defconfig and got
this:

In file included from include/linux/mmu_context.h:6,
                 from drivers/usb/gadget/inode.c:27:
/home4/mschwide/linux/arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch':
/home4/mschwide/linux/arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:82: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched'

Part of the problem is this lovely piece from include/linux/preempt.h:

#ifdef MODULE
/*
 * Modules have no business playing preemption tricks.
 */
#undef sched_preempt_enable_no_resched
#undef preempt_enable_no_resched
#undef preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace
#undef preempt_check_resched
#endif
