Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 3.18 1/4] Input: mousedev - add a schedule point in mousedev_write()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit f74c371fe72a4f820d287db8067683fb533e4ede ]

syzbot was able to trigger rcu stalls by calling write()
with large number of bytes.

Add a cond_resched() in the loop to avoid this.
