Displaying "PREEMPT" on kernel headers when CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y
can be misleading for anybody involved in remote debugging because it
is then not guaranteed that there is an actual preemption behaviour. It
depends on default Kconfig or boot defined choices.
Therefore, tell about PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on static kernel headers and leave
the search for the actual preemption behaviour to browsing dmesg.

Looks sensible. One small further cleanup nit below, otherwise:

I got suspicious of that PREEMPT_RT line, but it works because
PREEMPT_BUILD and PREEMPT_RT are mutually exclusive. Nevertheless, could we
clear out the ambiguity and make that into:
if [ -n "$PREEMPT_RT" ] ; then CONFIG_FLAGS="$CONFIG_FLAGS PREEMPT_RT";
elif [ -n "$PREEMPT_DYNAMIC" ] ; then CONFIG_FLAGS="$CONFIG_FLAGS PREEMPT_DYNAMIC";
elif [ -n "$PREEMPT" ] ; then CONFIG_FLAGS="$CONFIG_FLAGS PREEMPT";
