[NTOS:Mm] Replace YieldProcessor() with KeDelayExecutionThread()
These are used in the paging path, when the page is currently in the process of being
read from or written to the disk. While YieldProcessor() provides the chance to switch
context to the other paging thread, it only does so, once the current thread's quantum
has expired. On a single CPU system this effectively leads to busy waiting for the rest of
the quantum. On SMP systems this could succeed earlier, thus reducing latency, but it
would still contribute to high CPU usage, while wait [...]
Using KeDelayExecutionThread() will instantly allow another thread to run, providing
enough time to complete the IO operation.
