ext4: add cond_resched() to __ext4_find_entry()
commit 9424ef56e13a1f14c57ea161eed3ecfdc7b2770e upstream. We tested a soft lockup problem in linux 4.19 which could also be found in linux 5.x. When dir inode takes up a large number of blocks, and if the directory is growing when we are searching, it's possible the restart branch could be called many times, and the do while loop could hold cpu a long time. Here is the call trace in linux 4.19.
