Subject: mm/vmstat.c: erase latency in vmstat_shepherd

Many 100us+ latencies have been deteceted in vmstat_shepherd() on CPX
platform which has 208 logic cpus.  And vmstat_shepherd is queued every
second, which could make the case worse.

Add schedule point in vmstat_shepherd() to erase the latency.
