x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify looping around preempt_schedule_irq()

At the 'exit_intr' label we test whether interrupt/exception was in
kernel. If it did, we jump to the preemption check. If preemption
does happen (IOW if we call preempt_schedule_irq()), we go back to
'exit_intr'.

But it's pointless, we already know that the test succeeded last
time, preemption doesn't change the fact that interrupt/exception
was in the kernel.

We can go back directly to checking PER_CPU_VAR(__preempt_count) instead.

This makes the 'exit_intr' label unused, drop it.
