As the error capture will compress user buffers as directed to by the user, it can take an arbitrary amount of time and space. Break up the compression loops with a call to cond_resched(), that will allow other processes to schedule (avoiding the soft lockups) and also serve as a warning should we try to make this loop atomic in the future.
