In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in
exit_sem. Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time
and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is
executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which
in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises
the whole system.
Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop.
So this patch fixes the following:
