The fact that both spin_needbreak() and spin_is_contended() can be
used outside of sched is a bit confusing.
For example, in mm/compaction.c we are using spin_is_contended(), but
in mm/memory.c spin_needbreak().
BTW, the actual users of spin_is_contended() look to be only:
mm/compaction.c
security/keys/gc.c

Please ignore the patch. I have already found a way to solve my
problem without cond_resched().
Thanks,
