Rabin Vincent a8c27c0bea mmc: queue: prevent soft lockups on PREEMPT=n
On systems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n, under certain circumstances, mmcqd
can continuously process requests for several seconds without blocking,
triggering the soft lockup watchdog.  For example, this can happen if
mmcqd runs on the CPU which services the controller's interrupt, and
a process on a different CPU continuously writes to the MMC block
device.

 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [mmcqd/0:664]

Fix it by adding a cond_resched() in the request handling loop so that
other processes get a chance to run.
