Subject[PATCH v2] kmemleak: add scheduling point to kmemleak_scan
Date
kmemleak_scan will scan struct page for each node and it can be really
large and resulting in a soft lockup. We have seen a soft lockup when do
scan while compile kernel:

[ 220.561051] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#53 stuck for 22s! [bash:10287]

Fix this by adding cond_resched every MAX_SCAN_SIZE.

v2:
* call cond_resched() every MAX_SCAN_SIZE for consistency with the other places
* fix the subject of the patch. - Both per Catalin
