Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] lib: debugobjects: touch watchdog to avoid softlockup when !CONFIG_PREEMPT

There are nested loops on debug objects free path, sometimes it may take
over hundred thousands of loops, then cause soft lockup with !CONFIG_PREEMPT
occasionally, like below:

 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#15 stuck for 22s! [stress-ng-getde:110342]

The code path might be called in either atomic or non-atomic context,
so touching softlockup watchdog instead of calling cond_resched() which
might fall asleep. However, it is unnecessary to touch the watchdog
every loop, so just touch the watchdog at every 10000 (best estimate) loops.
