[PATCH 2/2] kernel/trace: fix watchdog soft lockup

From: Anders Roxell
Date: Wed Nov 28 2018 - 03:13:50 EST


When building a allmodconfig kernel for arm64 and boot that in qemu,
CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST gets enabled and that takes time so the
watchdog expires and prints out a message like this:
'watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [swapper/0:1]'
Each time the function ftrace_replace_code gets called it stays in that
functions loop for 41424 times.
Rework so that function cond_resched() gets called in the
ftrace_replace_code loop.
