We have received a bug report that unbinding a large pmem (>1TB)
can result in a soft lockup:

It has been reported on an older (4.12) kernel but the current upstream
code doesn't cond_resched in the hot remove code at all and the given
range to remove might be really large. Fix the issue by calling cond_resched
once per memory section.
