Subject: [PATCH 4.14 09/38] mm/mprotect: add a cond_resched() inside change_pmd_range()

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 4991c09c7c812dba13ea9be79a68b4565bb1fa4e upstream.

While testing on a large CPU system, detected the following RCU stall
many times over the span of the workload.  This problem is solved by
adding a cond_resched() in the change_pmd_range() function.

  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
   154-....: (670 ticks this GP) idle=022/140000000000000/0 softirq=2825/2825 fqs=612
   (detected by 955, t=6002 jiffies, g=4486, c=4485, q=90864)
  Sending NMI from CPU 955 to CPUs 154:
