[Devel] [PATCH rh7] block/ploop: Add resched points in ploop thread.

Ploop thread may not reschedule for a long time and cause softlockup
warnings on a debug kernel:

 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#4 stuck for 22s! [ploop56082:13917]

Add cond_resched() on each iteration of the ploop_thread() to fix that.
