Subject: posix-timers: Add cond_resched() to posix_timer_add() search loop
X-Git-Tag: v6.15-rc1~204^2~18

posix-timers: Add cond_resched() to posix_timer_add() search loop

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.
