commit 468fd62ed9 (vmstats: add cond_resched() to refresh_cpu_vm_stats()) added cond_resched() in refresh_cpu_vm_stats. Purpose of that patch was to allow other threads to run in non-preemptive case. This patch, makes sure that cond_resched() gets called when !CONFIG_PREEMPT is set. In a preemptiable kernel we don't need to call cond_resched().
