[PATCH -next v6 5/8] arm64: entry: Use preempt_count() and need_resched() helper

The generic entry code uses preempt_count() and need_resched() helpers to
check if it should do preempt_schedule_irq(). Currently, arm64 use its own
check logic, that is "READ_ONCE(current_thread_info()->preempt_count == 0",
which is equivalent to "preempt_count() == 0 && need_resched()".

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code, use
these helpers to replace arm64's own code and move it ahead.

No functional changes.

v6:
- Update the commit message.
- Move this ahead before we change the preemption logic to
  preempt non-IRQ exceptions.
