[PATCH 3/5] sched: Enable PREEMPT_DYNAMIC for PREEMPT_RT

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 03:55:27 EST


In order to enable PREEMPT_DYNAMIC for PREEMPT_RT, remove PREEMPT_RT
from the 'Preemption Model' choice. Strictly speaking PREEMPT_RT is
not a change in how preemption works, but rather it makes a ton more
code preemptible.

Notably, take away NONE and VOLATILE options for PREEMPT_RT, they make
no sense (but are techincally possible).
