Subject: kfence: test: try to avoid test_gfpzero trigger rcu_stall
When CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS is set to a big number, kfence
kunit-test-case test_gfpzero will eat up nearly all the CPU's resources
and rcu_stall is reported as the following log which is cut from a
physical server.
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 68-....: (14422 ticks this GP) idle=6ce/1/0x4000000000000002
softirq=592/592 fqs=7500 (t=15004 jiffies g=10677 q=20019)

To avoid rcu_stall and unacceptable latency, a schedule point is
added to test_gfpzero.
