Adding cond_resched() to the command waiting loop for a better
co-operation with the scheduler. This allows to give CPU a breath to
run other task(workqueue) instead of busy looping when preemption is
not allowed on a device whose CVQ might be slow.

This still leaves hung processes, but at least it doesn't pin the CPU any more. Thanks.
