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

commit 2c8507c63f5498d4ee4af404a8e44ceae4345056 upstream.
This commit re-attempts the backport of the change to the linux-5.10.y branch. Commit a1c3a19446a4 ("btrfs: avoid monopolizing a core when activating a swap file") on this branch was reverted.
During swap activation we iterate over the extents of a file and we can have many thousands of them, so we can end up in a busy loop monopolizing a core. Avoid this by doing a voluntary reschedule after processing each extent.
