Paul E. McKenney 22356f447c mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop
There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which
means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the
kernel. Dave Jones reports:

 "My fuzz tester keeps hitting this.  Every instance shows the non-irq
  stack came in from mlockall.  I'm only seeing this on one box, but
  that has more ram (8gb) than my other machines, which might explain
  it.

    INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU { 3}  (t=6500 jiffies g=470344 c=470343 q=0)
    sending NMI to all CPUs:
    NMI backtrace for cpu 3
    CPU: 3 PID: 29664 Comm: trinity-child2 Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #32
    Call Trace:
      lru_add_drain_all+0x15/0x20
      SyS_mlockall+0xa5/0x1a0
      tracesys+0xdd/0xe2"

This commit addresses this problem by inserting the required preemption
point.
