Add a macro cond_yield that branches to a specified label when called if the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set and decreasing the preempt count would make the task preemptible again, resulting in a schedule to occur. This can be used by kernel mode SIMD code that keeps a lot of state in SIMD registers, which would make chunking the input in order to perform the cond_resched() check from C code disproportionately costly.
