The arm64 implementation of should_resched() doesn't treat the need to
resched as unlikely, while all other implementations do, e.g.
* asm-generic since:
bdb43806589096ac ("sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers")
* x86 since:
c2daa3bed53a8117 ("sched, x86: Provide a per-cpu preempt_count implementation")
* s390 since:
c360192bf4a8dc72 ("s390/preempt: move preempt_count to the lowcore")
Do the same for arm64.
