[ Upstream commit 784c9a29e99eb40b842c29ecf1cc3a79e00fb629 ]
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] ... [ 4048.034151] Workqueue: kcopyd do_work [dm_mod] [ 4048.034156] RIP: 0010:copy_callback+0x41/0x160 [dm_snapshot] ...

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).
