Peng Liu 3cb1c9620e kfence: test: try to avoid test_gfpzero trigger rcu_stall
When CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS is set to a big number, kfence
kunit-test-case test_gfpzero will eat up nearly all the CPU's resources
and rcu_stall is reported as the following log which is cut from a
physical server.

  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
  rcu: 	68-....: (14422 ticks this GP) idle=6ce/1/0x4000000000000002
  softirq=592/592 fqs=7500 (t=15004 jiffies g=10677 q=20019)

To avoid rcu_stall and unacceptable latency, a schedule point is
added to test_gfpzero.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
