When building a allmodconfig kernel for arm64 and boot that in qemu, CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST gets enabled and that takes time so the watchdog expires and prints out a message like this: 'watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [swapper/0:1]' Each time the function ftrace_replace_code gets called it stays in that functions loop for 41424 times. Rework so that function cond_resched() gets called in the ftrace_replace_code loop.
