[ Upstream commit bde5f6bc68db51128f875a756e9082a6c6ff7b4c ]

kmemleak_scan() will scan struct page for each node and it can be really
large and resulting in a soft lockup. We have seen a soft lockup when
do scan while compile kernel:

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#53 stuck for 22s! [bash:10287]
[...]
Call Trace:
kmemleak_scan+0x21a/0x4c0
kmemleak_write+0x312/0x350
full_proxy_write+0x5a/0xa0
__vfs_write+0x33/0x150
vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0
SyS_write+0x52/0xc0
do_syscall_64+0x61/0x1a0
entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Fix this by adding cond_resched every MAX_SCAN_SIZE.
