[ Upstream commit 1e1c50a929bc9e49bc3f9935b92450d9e69f8158 ]
do_chunk_alloc implements a loop checking whether there is a pending chunk allocation and if so causes the caller do loop. Generally this loop is executed only once, however testing with btrfs/072 on a single core vm machines uncovered an extreme case where the system could loop indefinitely. This is due to a missing cond_resched when loop which doesn't give a chance to the previous chunk allocator finish its job.
The fix is to simply add the missing cond_resched.
