charlcd_write() is invoked as a VFS->write() callback and as such it is
always invoked from preemptible context and may sleep.
charlcd_puts() is invoked from register/unregister callback which is
preemptible. The reboot notifier callback is also invoked from
preemptible context.
Therefore there is no need to use `in_interrupt()' to figure out if it
is safe to sleep because it always is.
Using `schedule()' to schedule (and be friendly to others) is
discouraged and `cond_resched()' should be used instead.
Remove `in_interrupt()' and use `cond_resched()' to schedule every 32
iteration if needed.
