A soft lookup will occur when I run trinity in syscall kexec_load.
the corresponding stack information is as follows.

the first time allocate 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.
