Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix watchdog soft lockups during set_zone_contiguous()
Without CONFIG_PREEMPT, it can happen that we get soft lockups detected,
e.g., while booting up.

The issue becomes visible when having a lot of memory (e.g., 4TB) assigned
to a single NUMA node - a system that can easily be created using QEMU.
Inside VMs on a hypervisor with quite some memory overcommit, this is
fairly easy to trigger.
