A soft lockup issue was found in the product with about 56,000 tasks were
in the OOM cgroup, it was traversing them when the soft lockup was
triggered.

This is because thousands of processes are in the OOM cgroup, it takes a
long time to traverse all of them. As a result, this lead to soft lockup
in the OOM process.
To fix this issue, call 'cond_resched' in the 'mem_cgroup_scan_tasks'
function per 1000 iterations. For global OOM, call
'touch_softlockup_watchdog' per 1000 iterations to avoid this issue.
Fixes: 9cbb78bb3143 ("mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads")
