x86/alternatives: Add cond_resched() to text_poke_bp_batch()

Debugging in the kernel has started slowing down the kernel by a
noticeable amount. The ftrace start up tests are triggering the softlockup
watchdog on some boxes. This is caused by the start up tests that enable
function and function graph tracing several times. Sprinkling
cond_resched() just in the start up test code was not enough to stop the
softlockup from triggering. It would sometimes trigger in the
text_poke_bp_batch() code.

When function tracing enables all functions, it will call
text_poke_queue() to queue the places that need to be patched. Every
256 entries will do a "flush" that calls text_poke_bp_batch() to do the
update of the 256 locations. As this is in a scheduleable context,
calling cond_resched() at the start of text_poke_bp_batch() will ensure
that other tasks could get a chance to run while the patching is
happening. This keeps the softlockup from triggering in the start up
tests.
