Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf: fix a rcu_sched stall issue with bpf task/task_file iterator

In our production system, we observed rcu stalls when
'bpftool prog` is running.

Note that `bpftool prog` actually calls a task_file bpf iterator
program to establish an association between prog/map/link/btf anon
files and processes.

In the case where the above rcu stall occured, we had a process
having 1587 tasks and each task having roughly 81305 files.
This implied 129 million bpf prog invocations. Unfortunwtely none of
these files are prog/map/link/btf files so bpf iterator/prog needs
to traverse all these files and not able to return to user space
since there are no seq_file buffer overflow.

The fix is to add cond_resched() during traversing tasks
and files. So voluntarily releasing cpu gives other tasks, e.g.,
rcu resched kthread, a chance to run.
