IOMMU operations can be expensive and it's not very difficult for a
user to give us a lot of work to do for a map or unmap operation.
Killing a large VM will vfio assigned devices can result in soft
lockups and IOMMU tracing shows that we can easily spend 80% of our
time with need-resched set. A sprinkling of conf_resched() calls
after map and unmap calls has a very tiny affect on performance
while resulting in traces with <1% of calls overflowing into needs-
resched.
