From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
User can pass an arbitrary large buffer to getdents().
It is typically a 32KB buffer used by libc scandir() implementation.
When scanning /proc/{pid}/fd, we can hold cpu way too long,
so add a cond_resched() to be kind with other tasks.
We've seen latencies of more than 50ms on real workloads.
