posix-timers: Invoke cond_resched() during exit_itimers()
exit_itimers() loops through every timer in the process to delete it. This requires taking the system-wide hash_lock for each of these timers, and contends with other processes trying to create or delete timers. When a process creates hundreds of thousands of timers, and then exits while other processes contend with it, this can trigger softlockups on CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. Add a cond_resched() invocation into the loop to allow the system to make progress. Signed-off-by:Ben Segall <bsegall@google.com> Signed-off-by:
