Gosh, your right. How did you find this?

I think the better solution, however, is to remove the whole
test. Since the preempt counter gets bumped on each
interrupt and every local_bh_disable, this code should NEVER
find either of the two counters other than zero (since we
already know preemt count is zero).

Good work.
