kexec: add cond_resched into kimage_alloc_crash_control_pages
A soft lookup will occur when I run trinity in syscall kexec_load. the corresponding stack information is as follows. BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [trinity-c6:13859] Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks CPU: 6 PID: 13859 Comm: trinity-c6 Tainted: G O L ----V------- 3.10.0-327.28.3.35.zhongjiang.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Tecal BH622 V2/BC01SRSA0, BIOS RMIBV386 06/30/2014 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x19/0x1b panic+0xd8/0x214 watchdog_timer_fn+0x1cc/0x1e0 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xd2/0x260 hrtimer_interrupt+0xb0/0x1e0 ? call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x37/0x60 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x3f/0x60 apic_timer_interrupt+0x6d/0x80 <EOI> ? kimage_alloc_control_pages+0x80/0x270 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1ce/0x1f0 ? do_kimage_alloc_init+0x1f/0x90 kimage_alloc_init+0x12a/0x180 SyS_kexec_load+0x20a/0x260 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b the first time allocation of control pages may take too much time because crash_res.end can be set to a higher value. we need to add cond_resched to avoid the issue. The patch have been tested and above issue is not appear.
