Commit Message

When building a allmodconfig kernel for arm64 and boot that in qemu,
CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST gets enabled and that takes time so the
watchdog expires and prints out a message like this:
'watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [swapper/0:1]'
Depending on what the what test gets called from init_trace_selftests()
it stays minutes in the loop.
Rework so that function cond_resched() gets called in the
init_trace_selftests loop.

This looks fine to me. Should it be marked for stable, and pushed into
this release cycle, or wait till the next merge window?

Steve, I'm sorry for the late reply and no its not urgent.
Maybe it can make it into v5.2 ?
