We want to do a complete pass before checking the timeout, but just in
case the pass is quite slow, touch the NMI watchdog to prevent a
false positive.

Why only in pot_hole, is this the slowest test?

It's the only test of this style where we don't have the igt_timeout
(cond_resched) inside the innermost loop.

So.. the obvious question.. :) Why not move igt_timeout to the innermost loop and avoid low-level hackery?
