Based on my understanding the optimisation with task_obj for in_task() mask sense on non-PREEMPTIBLE kernels because preempt_disable()/enable() is optimized away. This could be then restricted to !CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernel instead to only PREEMPT_RT. With CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC a non-PREEMPTIBLE kernel can also be configured but these kernels always have preempt_disable()/enable() present so it probably makes no sense here for the optimisation. I did a micro benchmark with disabled interrupts and a loop of 100.000.000 invokcations of kfree(kmalloc()). Based on the results it makes no sense to add an exception based on dynamic preemption. Restrict the optimisation to !CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernels.
