Nikolay Borisov 6af112b11a btrfs: Relinquish CPUs in btrfs_compare_trees
When doing any form of incremental send the parent and the child trees
need to be compared via btrfs_compare_trees. This  can result in long
loop chains without ever relinquishing the CPU. This causes softlockup
detector to trigger when comparing trees with a lot of items. Example
report:

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [snapperd:16153]
CPU: 0 PID: 16153 Comm: snapperd Not tainted 5.2.9-1-default #1 openSUSE Tumbleweed (unreleased)

Fix this by adding a call to cond_resched at the beginning of the main
loop in btrfs_compare_trees.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
