        preempt: Restore preemption model selection configs
    
        Commit c597bfddc9e9 ("sched: Provide Kconfig support for default dynamic
        preempt mode") changed the selectable config names for the preemption
        model. This means a config file must now select
    
          CONFIG_PREEMPT_BEHAVIOUR=y
    
        rather than
    
          CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
    
        to get a preemptible kernel. This means all arch config files would need to
        be updated - right now they'll all end up with the default
        CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE_BEHAVIOUR.
    
        Rather than touch a good hundred of config files, restore usage of
        CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY}. Make them configure:
        o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
        o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
    
        Add siblings of those configs with the _BUILD suffix to unconditionally
        designate the build-time preemption model (PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is built with
        the "highest" preemption model it supports, aka PREEMPT). Downstream
        configs should by now all be depending / selected by CONFIG_PREEMPTION
        rather than CONFIG_PREEMPT, so only a few sites need patching up.
