676e8cf70c sched,livepatch: Untangle cond_resched() and live-patching
With the goal of deprecating / removing VOLUNTARY preempt, live-patch
needs to stop relying on cond_resched() to make forward progress.

Instead, rely on schedule() with TASK_FREEZABLE set. Just like
live-patching, the freezer needs to be able to stop tasks in a safe /
known state.

[bigeasy: use likely() in __klp_sched_try_switch() and update comments]

e3ff7c609f livepatch,sched: Add livepatch task switching to cond_resched()
There have been reports [1][2] of live patches failing to complete
within a reasonable amount of time due to CPU-bound kthreads.

Fix it by patching tasks in cond_resched().

There are four different flavors of cond_resched(), depending on the
kernel configuration.  Hook into all of them.

A more elegant solution might be to use a preempt notifier.  However,
non-ORC unwinders can't unwind a preempted task reliably.
