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.
