(using tif_resched() here is really uncalled for)
So this will generate rather sub-optimal code, namely 2 atomics that
really should be one.
Ideally we'd write this something like:
unsigned long mask = _TIF_NEED_RESCHED;
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_AUTO))
mask |= _TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY;
atomic_long_andnot(mask, (atomic_long_t *)task_thread_info(tsk)->flags);
Which will clear both bits with a single atomic.
