mm, thp: remove cond_resched from __collapse_huge_page_copy

This is a partial revert of commit 338a16ba1549 ("mm, thp: copying user
pages must schedule on collapse") which added a cond_resched() to
__collapse_huge_page_copy().

On x86 with CONFIG_HIGHPTE, __collapse_huge_page_copy is called in
atomic context and thus scheduling is not possible.  This is only a
possible config on arm and i386.

Although need_resched has been shown to be set for over 100 jiffies
while doing the iteration in __collapse_huge_page_copy, this is better
than doing

        if (in_atomic())
                cond_resched()

to cover only non-CONFIG_HIGHPTE configs.
