lib/Kconfig.debug: do not enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default

In workloads where this_cpu operations are frequently performed,
enabling DEBUG_PREEMPT may result in significant increase in
runtime overhead due to frequent invocation of
__this_cpu_preempt_check() function.

This can be demonstrated through benchmarks such as hackbench where this
configuration results in a 10% reduction in performance, primarily due to
the added overhead within memcg charging path.

Therefore, do not to enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default and make users aware
of its potential impact on performance in some workloads.

This option has potential to introduce high runtime overhead,
depending on workload as it triggers debugging routines for each
this_cpu operation. It should only be used for debugging purposes.
