Waiman Long cbbbf7795f mm/mm_init: don't cond_resched() in deferred_init_memmap_chunk() if called from deferred_grow_zone()
Commit 3acb913c9d ("mm/mm_init: use deferred_init_memmap_chunk() in
deferred_grow_zone()") made deferred_grow_zone() call
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() within a pgdat_resize_lock() critical section
with irqs disabled.  It did check for irqs_disabled() in
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() to avoid calling cond_resched().  For a
PREEMPT_RT kernel build, however, spin_lock_irqsave() does not disable
interrupt but rcu_read_lock() is called.  This leads to the following bug
report.

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mm_init.c:2091

Fix it adding a new argument to deferred_init_memmap_chunk() to explicitly
tell it if cond_resched() is allowed or not instead of relying on some
current state information which may vary depending on the exact kernel
configuration options that are enabled.
