CVE-2024-56589

For no forced preemption model kernel, in the scenario where the expander is connected to 12 high performance SAS SSDs, the following call trace may occur:

This is because in the hisi_sas driver, both the hardware interrupt handler and the interrupt thread are executed on the same CPU. In the performance test scenario, function irq_wait_for_interrupt() will always return 0 if lots of interrupts occurs and the CPU will be continuously consumed. As a result, the CPU cannot run the watchdog thread. When the watchdog time exceeds the specified time, call trace occurs.

To fix it, add cond_resched() to execute the watchdog thread.
