[PATCH] mm/migrate: fix softlockup in do_pages_stat() with huge page arrays

[Qi Xi]

From: Qi Xi <xiqi2@xxxxxxxxxx>

do_pages_stat() walks the user page array in 16-page chunks but never
reschedules, so a huge nr_pages can hold a CPU past the watchdog
threshold on non-preemptible kernels. Add cond_resched() to the loop so
long move_pages() node-query calls yield periodically.

With KASAN and function tracing enabled, a move_pages() node query
(nodes == NULL) over 10 million page entries (~40GB) can trigger the
softlockup on a PREEMPT_NONE kernel.

Fixes: 80bba1290ab5 ("mm: no get_user/put_user while holding mmap_sem in do_pages_stat?")
