Subject: dm: add cond_resched() to dm_wq_requeue_work()
From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f77692d65d54665d81815349cc727baa85e8b71d upstream.
Otherwise the while() loop in dm_wq_requeue_work() can result in a
"dead loop" on systems that have preemption disabled. This is
particularly problematic on single cpu systems.
Fixes: 8b211aaccb915 ("dm: add two stage requeue mechanism")
