[PATCH] fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore (part 2)

[Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>]

Since commit 5cbcb62dddf5 ("fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore")
the number of softlockups in __read_vmcore at kdump time have gone
down, but they still happen sometimes.

In a memory constrained environment like the kdump image, a softlockup
is not just a harmless message, but it can interfere with things like
RCU freeing memory, causing the crashdump to get stuck.

The second loop in __read_vmcore has a lot more opportunities for
natural sleep points, like scheduling out while waiting for a data
write to happen, but apparently that is not always enough.

Add a cond_resched() to the second loop in __read_vmcore to
(hopefully) get rid of the softlockups.
