For historical reasons, the decision of whether or not to preempt is spread across arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() and __el1_irq(), and it would be clearer if this were all in one place. Also, arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() calls lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled(), but this is redundant, as we have a subsequent identical assertion in __exit_to_kernel_mode(), and preempt_schedule_irq() will BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) anyway. This patch removes the redundant assertion and centralizes the preemption decision making within arm64_preempt_schedule_irq(). Other than the slight change to assertion behaviour, there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
