Heiko, do you want a Signed-off-by or a Reported-by?  Either one works
for me.

P.

----8<----

On a s390 z14 LAR with 2 cpus about stalls about 3% of the time while
loading the s390_trng.ko module.

Add a reschedule point to the loop that waits for modules to complete
loading.

Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
Fixes: linux-next commit f9a75c1d717f ("modules: Only return -EEXIST for modules that have finished loading")
