ceph: reduce contention in ceph_check_delayed_caps()
commit bf2ba432 upstream. Function ceph_check_delayed_caps() is called from the mdsc->delayed_work workqueue and it can be kept looping for quite some time if caps keep being added back to the mdsc->cap_delay_list. This may result in the watchdog tainting the kernel with the softlockup flag. This patch breaks this loop if the caps have been recently (i.e. during the loop execution). Any new caps added to the list will be handled in the next run. Also, allow schedule_delayed() callers to explicitly set the delay value instead of defaulting to 5s, so we can ensure that it runs soon afterward if it looks like there is more work.
