Greg Kroah-Hartman f21f7fa263 Vaibhav Nagarnaik found that modifying the ring buffer size could cause
a huge latency in the system because it does a while loop to free pages
 without releasing the CPU (on non preempt kernels). In a case where there
 are hundreds of thousands of pages to free it could actually cause a system
 stall. A properly place cond_resched() solves this issue.
