Seems to be an issue for i386 and arm with ARM_LPAE.  I'm slightly 
surprised we can get away with __collapse_huge_page_swapin() for 
VM_FAULT_RETRY, unless that hasn't been encountered yet.  I think the 
cond_resched() in __collapse_huge_page_copy() could be done only for 
!in_atomic() if we choose.
