kernel/sched: Fix SMP scheduling



Recent changes post-scheduler-rewrite broke scheduling on SMP:

The "preempt_ok" feature added to isolate preemption points wasn't
honored in SMP mode.  Fix this by adding a "swap_ok" field to the CPU
record (not the thread) which is set at the same time out of
update_cache().

The "queued" flag wasn't being maintained correctly when swapping away
from _current (it was added back to the queue, but the flag wasn't
set).

Abstract out a "should_preempt()" predicate so SMP and uniprocessor
paths share the same logic, which is distressingly subtle.

There were two places where _Swap() was predicated on
_get_next_ready_thread() != _current.  That's no longer a benign
optimization in SMP, where the former function REMOVES the next thread
from the queue.  Just call _Swap() directly in SMP, which has a
unified C implementation that does this test already.  Don't change
other architectures in case it exposes bugs with _Swap() switching
back to the same thread (it should work, I just don't want to break
anything).
