On a non-preemptible kernel, if KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE is called with the largest permitted inputs (16384 bits), the kernel spends 10+ seconds doing modular exponentiation in mpi_powm() without rescheduling. If all threads do it, it locks up the system. Moreover, it can cause rcu_sched-stall warnings. Notwithstanding the insanity of doing this calculation in kernel mode rather than in userspace, fix it by calling cond_resched() as each bit from the exponent is processed. It's still noninterruptible, but at least it's preemptible now. Do the cond_resched() once per bit rather than once per MPI limb because each limb might still easily take 100+ milliseconds on slow CPUs.
