[ Upstream commit 16f6b67cf03cb43db7104acb2ca877bdc2606c92 ]

With large memory (8TB and more) hotplug, we can get soft lockup
warnings as below. These were caused by a long loop without any
explicit cond_resched which is a problem for !PREEMPT kernels.

Avoid this using cond_resched() while inserting hash page table
entries. We already do similar cond_resched() in __add_pages(), see
commit f64ac5e6e306 ("mm, memory_hotplug: add scheduling point to
__add_pages").
