Fix performance regression on lmbench select benchmark
Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with
CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench:
For example select file 500:
23 microseconds
32 microseconds
and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched()
in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly.
This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the
bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance
regression go away.
