sched/core: Rework TASK_DEAD preemption exception
TASK_DEAD is special in that the final schedule call from do_exit() must be done with preemption disabled. This means we end up scheduling with a preempt_count() higher than usual (3 instead of the 'expected' 2). Since future patches will want to rely on an invariant preempt_count() value during schedule, fix this up.
