We triggered soft-lockup under stress test which
open/access/write/close one file concurrently on more than
five different CPUs:

WARN: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [who:30631]

->d_lock trylock may failed many times because of concurrently
operations, and dput() may execute a long time.

Fix this by replacing cpu_relax() with cond_resched().
