mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix false softlockup during pfn range removal
When working with very large nodes, poisoning the struct pages (for which there will be very many) can take a very long time. If the system is using voluntary preemptions, the software watchdog will not be able to detect forward progress. This patch addresses this issue by offering to give up time like __remove_pages() does. This behavior was introduced in v5.6 with: commitd33695b16a
("mm/memory_hotplug: poison memmap in remove_pfn_range_from_zone()") Alternately, init_page_poison could do this cond_resched(), but it seems to me that the caller of init_page_poison() is what actually knows whether or not it should relax its own priority. Based on Dan's notes, I think this is perfectly safe: commitf931ab479d
("mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}") Aside from fixing the lockup, it is also a friendlier thing to do on lower core systems that might wipe out large chunks of hotplug memory (probably not a very common case). Fixes this kind of splat: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#46 stuck for 22s!

Ordinary hotplugged system memory is not affected (onlined/offlined in memory block granularity)."
