Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function



It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.

Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3 "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").

But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.

Also make fs/locks.c use it.
