mm, sched: Drop voluntary schedule from might_fault()

might_fault() is called from functions like copy_to_user()
which most callers expect to be very fast, like a couple of
instructions.

So functions like memcpy_toiovec() call them many times in a loop.

But might_fault() calls might_sleep() and with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
this results in a function call.

Let's not do this - just call __might_sleep() that produces
a diagnostic for sleep within atomic, but drop
might_preempt().

Here's a test sending traffic between the VM and the host,
host is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY:

 before:
	incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
	outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

 after:
	incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s
	outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s

As a side effect, this fixes an issue pointed
out by Ingo: might_fault might schedule differently
depending on PROVE_LOCKING. Now there's no
preemption point in both cases, so it's consistent.
