New Revision: 221532
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/221532

Log:
  MFC r220198:
  Clearing the flag when preempting will let the preempted thread run
  too much time. This can finish in a scheduler deadlock with ping-pong
  between two threads.
  
  One sample of this is:
  - device lapic (to have a preemption point on critical_exit())
  - options DEVICE_POLLING with HZ>1499 (to have lapic freq = hardclock freq)
  - running a cpu intensive task (that does not enter the kernel)
  - only one CPU on SMP or no SMP.
  
  As requested by jhb@ 4BSD have received the same type of fix instead of
  propagating the flag to the new thread.
