Subject: [PATCH] ksm: cond_resched in unstable tree

KSM needs a cond_resched() for CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, in its unbounded
search of the unstable tree.  The stable tree cases already have one,
and originally there was one down inside get_user_pages();
but I missed it when I converted to follow_page() instead.
