While generally macros are undesirable in place of inline functions,
with the type checking aspect not being relevant here (both functions
have identically typed parameters), using a #define here instead of an
out of line call to a function which does nothing other than adjust the
preempt count seems warranted if the include dependency can't be
addressed in a satisfactory manner.
