5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 5f2909c6cd13564a07ae692a95457f52295c4f22 ]
With a large number of POSIX timers the search for a valid ID might cause a soft lockup on PREEMPT_NONE/VOLUNTARY kernels.
Add cond_resched() to the loop to prevent that.
