    sched, kvm: Fix race condition involving sched_in_preempt_notifers · 498657a4

    In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is
    called after finish_lock_switch().
    
    However, depending on architecture, preemption can be enabled after
    finish_lock_switch() which breaks the semantics of preempt
    notifiers.
    
    So move it before finish_arch_switch(). This also makes the in-
    notifiers symmetric to out- notifiers in terms of locking - now
    both are called under rq lock.
