fs/dcache.c: fix spin lockup issue on nlru->lock
__list_lru_walk_one() acquires nlru spin lock (nlru->lock) for longer duration if there are more number of items in the lru list. As per the current code, it can hold the spin lock for upto maximum UINT_MAX entries at a time. So if there are more number of items in the lru list, then "BUG: spinlock lockup suspected" is observed in the below path: spin_bug+0x90 do_raw_spin_lock+0xfc _raw_spin_lock+0x28 list_lru_add+0x28 dput+0x1c8 path_put+0x20 terminate_walk+0x3c path_lookupat+0x100 filename_lookup+0x6c user_path_at_empty+0x54 SyS_faccessat+0xd0 el0_svc_naked+0x24 This nlru->lock is acquired by another CPU in this path - d_lru_shrink_move+0x34 dentry_lru_isolate_shrink+0x48 __list_lru_walk_one.isra.10+0x94 list_lru_walk_node+0x40 shrink_dcache_sb+0x60 do_remount_sb+0xbc do_emergency_remount+0xb0 process_one_work+0x228 worker_thread+0x2e0 kthread+0xf4 ret_from_fork+0x10 Fix this lockup by reducing the number of entries to be shrinked from the lru list to 1024 at once. Also, add cond_resched() before processing the lru list again.
