BPF programs can execute in all kinds of contexts and when a program
running in a non-preemptible context uses the bpf_send_signal() kfunc,
it will cause issues because this kfunc can sleep.

So change `irqs_disabled()` to `!preemptible()` that covers all edge
cases: preempt_count() == 0 and irqs_disabled()

Should we unfold preemptible() to "preempt_count() == 0 &&
!irqs_disabled()" instead, because when preemption is disabled,
preemptible() will evaluate as 0 and the irq_disabled() case will be
skipped ?
