Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 28/35] kmemleak: add scheduling point to
 kmemleak_scan()

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit bde5f6bc68db51128f875a756e9082a6c6ff7b4c ]

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:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#53 stuck for 22s! [bash:10287]
 [...]
  Call Trace:
   kmemleak_scan+0x21a/0x4c0
   kmemleak_write+0x312/0x350
   full_proxy_write+0x5a/0xa0
   __vfs_write+0x33/0x150
   vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0
   SyS_write+0x52/0xc0
   do_syscall_64+0x61/0x1a0
   entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Fix this by adding cond_resched every MAX_SCAN_SIZE.
