[PATCH 2/4] kernel.h: Add non_block_start/end()

In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a
spinlock, preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already
that arms the might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end()
pair to annotate these.

This will be used in the oom paths of mmu-notifiers, where blocking is
not allowed to make sure there's forward progress.

Suggested by Michal Hocko.
