Subject: [patch] mm, thp: copying user pages must schedule on collapse

We have encountered need_resched warnings in __collapse_huge_page_copy()
while doing {clear,copy}_user_highpage() over HPAGE_PMD_NR source pages.

mm->mmap_sem is held for write, but the iteration is well bounded.

Reschedule as needed.
