Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kfence: test: try to avoid test_gfpzero trigger rcu_stall

When CONFIG_KFENCE_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS is set to a big number, kfence
kunit-test-case test_gfpzero will eat up nearly all the CPU's
resources and rcu_stall is reported as the following log which is
cut from a physical server.

  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
  rcu: 	68-....: (14422 ticks this GP) idle=6ce/1/0x4000000000000002
  softirq=592/592 fqs=7500 (t=15004 jiffies g=10677 q=20019)
  Task dump for CPU 68:
  task:kunit_try_catch state:R  running task
  stack:    0 pid: 9728 ppid:     2 flags:0x0000020a

   kthread+0x108/0x13c
   ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

To avoid rcu_stall and unacceptable latency, a schedule point is
added to test_gfpzero.
