I wonder if this might reduce some noise on the CPU cache lines
when disable_preemption()/enable_preemption() actually does something.
But the problem might be only with cmpxchg() in a busy loop.

Anyway, please document any changes in the ordering if there are any.
The current commit message sounds like a code move without any
functional changes.
