task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run()
It seems commit 4a9d4b02 ("switch fput to task_work_add") re- introduced the problem addressed in 944be0b2 ("close_files(): add scheduling point") If a server process with a lot of files (say 2 million tcp sockets) is killed, we can spend a lot of time in task_work_run() and trigger a soft lockup.
