Subject: [PATCH v2 05/10] um: Determine sleep based on need_resched()

From: Tiwei Bie <tiwei.btw@...group.com>

With SMP and NO_HZ enabled, the CPU may still need to sleep even
if the timer is disarmed. Switch to deciding whether to sleep based
on pending resched. This is a preparation for adding SMP support.
