Subject: [PATCH v2] pci: call cond_resched() after pci bus config writing

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@...cent.com>

While the system is running in KVM, pci config writing for virtio devices
may cost long time (about 1-2ms), as it causes VM-exit. During
__pci_bus_assign_resources(), pci_setup_bridge(), which can write pci
config up to 10 times, can be called many times without any
cond_resched(). So __pci_bus_assign_resources() can cause 25+ms
scheduling latency with !CONFIG_PREEMPT.

To solve this problem, call cond_resched() after pci config writing.
