Disable CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC has a number of issues:
- It expands COS's support responsibility considerably (we didn't
deliberately enable this, and didn't explicitly consider the new use
cases we'd be supporting by doing this, but the new use cases enabled
by this are very different from what we've been supporting)
- Once someone takes a strong dependency on this, it will be impossible
to get rid of it
- We don't expect anyone to actually use this feature
- It's not enabled on arm64, so the behavior between x86 and arm64 is
inconsistent
- There is good evidence that this setting harms performance for some
workloads in the default configuration
For these reasons, let's remove this functionality.
