[for-next][PATCH 2/8] x86/mm/kmmio: Remove redundant preempt_disable()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Dec 14 2022 - 09:02:17 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Now that kmmio uses rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() there's no reason to
call preempt_disable() as the read_lock_sched_notrace() already does that
and is redundant.

This also removes the preempt_enable_no_resched() as the "no_resched()"
portion was bogus as there's no reason to do that.
