+ * preempt_schedule_context - preempt_schedule called by tracing

+ * The tracing infrastructure uses preempt_enable_notrace to prevent
+ * recursion and tracing preempt enabling caused by the tracing
+ * infrastructure itself. But as tracing can happen in areas coming
+ * from userspace or just about to enter userspace, a preempt enable
+ * can occur before user_exit() is called. This will cause the scheduler
+ * to be called when the system is still in usermode.
+ *
+ * To prevent this, the preempt_enable_notrace will use this function
+ * instead of preempt_schedule() to exit user context if needed before
+ * calling the scheduler.
