    It was reported that softlockups occur when using dm-snapshot ontop of
    slow (rbd) storage.  E.g.:
    
    [ 4047.990647] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 22s! [kworker/10:23:26177]

    Fix this by calling cond_resched() after run_complete_job()'s callout to
    the dm_kcopyd_notify_fn (which is dm-snap.c:copy_callback in the above
    trace).
