Why not change it to might_sleep()? - that would be almost equivalent to 
the code that was there before (i.e. reschedule only if 
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is set).

If we call the cond_resched() function in tight loops such as walking all 
buffers in a list, there may be performance penalty due to the call, so 
the call should be done only if it is really needed (i.e. in 
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY case).
