To date, Litmus has just hooked into the smp_send_reschedule() IPI
handler and marked tasks as having to reschedule to implement remote
preemptions. This was never particularly clean, but so far we got away
with it. However, changes in the underlying Linux, and peculartities
of the ARM code (interrupts enabled before context switch) break this
naive approach. This patch introduces new state-machine based remote
preemption support. By examining the local state before calling
set_tsk_need_resched(), we avoid confusing the underlying Linux
scheduler. Further, this patch avoids sending unncessary IPIs.

The TRACE() functionality doesn't need all of litmus.h. Currently,
it's impossible to use TRACE() in sched.h due to a circular
dependency. This patch moves TRACE() and friends to
litmus/sched_debug.h, which can be included in sched.h.
While at it, also fix some minor include ugliness that was revealed by
this change.

Simple logic: if a task requires precise enforcement, then program a
hr-timer to fire when the task must be descheduled. When the timer
fires, simply activate the scheduler. When we switch to a different
task, either reprogram the timer or cancel it.
