jffs2: avoid soft-lockup in jffs2_reserve_space_gc()
We triggered soft-lockup under stress test on 2.6.34 kernel. BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 60009ms! [lockf2.test:14488] ... [<bf09a4d4>] (jffs2_do_reserve_space+0x420/0x440 [jffs2]) [<bf09a528>] (jffs2_reserve_space_gc+0x34/0x78 [jffs2]) [<bf0a1350>] (jffs2_garbage_collect_dnode.isra.3+0x264/0x478 [jffs2]) [<bf0a2078>] (jffs2_garbage_collect_pass+0x9c0/0xe4c [jffs2]) [<bf09a670>] (jffs2_reserve_space+0x104/0x2a8 [jffs2]) [<bf09dc48>] (jffs2_write_inode_range+0x5c/0x4d4 [jffs2]) [<bf097d8c>] (jffs2_write_end+0x198/0x2c0 [jffs2]) [<c00e00a4>] (generic_file_buffered_write+0x158/0x200) [<c00e14f4>] (__generic_file_aio_write+0x3a4/0x414) [<c00e15c0>] (generic_file_aio_write+0x5c/0xbc) [<c012334c>] (do_sync_write+0x98/0xd4) [<c0123a84>] (vfs_write+0xa8/0x150) [<c0123d74>] (sys_write+0x3c/0xc0)] Fix this by adding a cond_resched() in the while loop.
