dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls

[ Upstream commit 16b0dc29c1af9df341428f4c49ada4f626258082 ]

Trying to "modprobe dummy numdummies=30000" triggers :

INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 8} (t=60000 jiffies)

After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed.

We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL.
