This is intended for use in loops which read data protected by RCU and may
have a large number of iterations. Such an example is dumping the list of
connections known to IPVS: ip_vs_conn_array() and ip_vs_conn_seq_next().
The call to cond_resched() is guarded by #ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU as in
the case of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU _rcu_read_unlock() will check to see if the
RCU core needs to be informed, so there is no need to invoke cond_resched()
in that case. Thanks to Paul E. McKenney for explaining this.
cond_resched_rcu_lock() suggested by Eric Dumazet.
ifndef guard suggested by Paul E. McKenney and Julian Anastasov.
