I still think it's totally the wrong direction to pollute so
many fast paths with this obscure debugging check workaround
unconditionally.

cond_resched() is in EVERY sleeping lock and in EVERY memory allocation!
And these are really critical paths for many workloads.

If you really wanted to do this I think you would first need
to define a cond_resched_i_am_not_fast() or somesuch.

Or put it all behind some debugging ifdef.
