Subject: [PATCH 43/51] [DLM] Make dlm_sendd cond_resched more

From: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@...hat.com>

Under high recovery loads dlm_sendd can monopolise the CPU and cause soft lockups.

This one extra and one moved cond_resched() make it yield a little more during
such times keeping work moving.
