ext4: add cond_resched() to ext4_free_blocks() & ext4_mb_regular_allocator()

Browse source

For a file systems with a very large number of block groups, if all of
the block group bitmaps are in memory and the file system is
relatively badly fragmented, it's possible ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
to take a long time trying to find a good match.  This is especially
true if the tuning parameter mb_max_to_scan has been sent to a very
large number.  So add a cond_resched() to avoid soft lockup warnings
and to provide better system responsiveness.

For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks,
and data=journal is enabled so that EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET is passed,
the loop to call sb_find_get_block() and to call ext4_forget() can
take over 10-15 milliseocnds or more.  So it's better to add a
cond_resched() here a well.
