CVE-2025-39782: jbd2: prevent softlockup in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jbd2: prevent softlockup in jbd2logdocheckpoint()

Both jbd2logdocheckpoint() and jbd2journalshrinkcheckpointlist() periodically release jlistlock after processing a batch of buffers to avoid long hold times on the jlistlock. However, since both functions contend for jlistlock, the combined time spent waiting and processing can be significant.

jbd2journalshrinkcheckpointlist() explicitly calls condresched() when needresched() is true to avoid softlockups during prolonged operations. But jbd2logdocheckpoint() only exits its loop when needresched() is true, relying on potentially sleeping functions like flushbatch() or waitonbuffer() to trigger rescheduling. If those functions do not sleep, the kernel may hit a softlockup.

So explicitly call condresched() in jbd2logdocheckpoint() to avoid softlockup.
