Looks like debug_defconfig is indeed using preemption:

CONFIG_PREEMPT_BUILD=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS=y
CONFIG_TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_DELAY_TEST is not set
