Jan Kara 47aaabdedf fanotify: Avoid softlockups when reading many events
When user provides large buffer for events and there are lots of events
available, we can try to copy them all to userspace without scheduling
which can softlockup the kernel (furthermore exacerbated by the
contention on notification_lock). Add a scheduling point after copying
each event.

Note that usually the real underlying problem is the cost of fanotify
event merging and the resulting contention on notification_lock but this
is a cheap way to somewhat reduce the problem until we can properly
address that.
