mm: hugetlb: avoid soft lockup when mprotect to large memory area
commit f52ce0ea90c83a28904c7cc203a70e6434adfecb upstream.
When calling mprotect() to a large hugetlb memory area in our customer's
workload (~300GB hugetlb memory), soft lockup was observed:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#98 stuck for 23s! [t2_new_sysv:126916]

Soft lockup is not triggered with THP or base page because there is
cond_resched() called for each PMD size.
Although the soft lockup was triggered by MTE, it should be not MTE
specific. The other processing which takes long time in the loop may
trigger soft lockup too.
So add cond_resched() for hugetlb to avoid soft lockup.
