sched: turn off PREEMPT_RESTRICT



PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup
related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent
legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick
that clears peer_preempt.

Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have
excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off. (and
removed in the next patch)
