From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e47110e90584a22e9980510b00d0dfad3a83354e upstream. Like zap_pte_range add cond_resched so that we can avoid softlockups as reported below. On non-preemptible kernel with large I/O map region (like the one we get when using persistent memory with sector mode), an unmap of the namespace can report below softlockups. 22724.027334] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#49 stuck for 23s!
