Currently preempt_count() is always a non-negative int on all archs (PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED archs will mask out the MSB when returning preempt_count()), hence the checking in __cant_migrate() is in fact just checking whether preempt_count() is 0 or not. In a future change, we are going to use all the 32 bits of preempt_count(), which would make negative int values possible from preempt_count(). Therefore convert the "> 0" comparison into a zero check to prepare for the future change. No functional changes are intended.
