Subject: mm/kmemleak.c: make cond_resched() rate-limiting more efficient

bde5f6bc68db5 ("kmemleak: add scheduling point to kmemleak_scan()") tries
to rate-limit the frequency of cond_resched() calls, but does it in a way
which might incur an expensive division operation in the inner loop. 
Simplify this.
