Mel Gorman 388d8bdb87 tracing: Remove obsolete PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS kconfig option
The PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS option is unused after commit c3bc8fd637 ("tracing:
Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage"). Remove it.

Note that this option is hazardous as it stands. It enables TRACE_IRQFLAGS
event on non-preempt configurations without the irqsoff tracer enabled.
TRACE_IRQFLAGS as it stands incurs significant overhead on each IRQ
entry/exit. This is because trace_hardirqs_[on|off] does all the per-cpu
manipulations and NMI checks even if tracing is completely disabled for
some insane reason.  For example, netperf running UDP_STREAM on localhost
incurs a 4-6% performance penalty without any tracing if IRQFLAGS is
set. It can be put behind a static brach but even the function entry/exit
costs a little bit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
