sched, kvm: Fix race condition involving sched_in_preempt_notifers
In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is called after finish_lock_switch(). However, depending on architecture, preemption can be enabled after finish_lock_switch() which breaks the semantics of preempt notifiers. So move it before finish_arch_switch(). This also makes the in- notifiers symmetric to out- notifiers in terms of locking - now both are called under rq lock.
