powerpc/mm: Add cond_resched() while removing hpte mappings

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit a5d6a3e73acbd619dd5b7b831762b755f9e2db80 ]

While removing large number of mappings from hash page tables for
large memory systems as soft-lockup is reported because of the time
spent inside htap_remove_mapping() like one below:

 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 23s!

Fix this by adding a cond_resched() to the loop in
htap_remove_mapping() that issues hcall to remove hpte mapping. The
call to cond_resched() is issued every HZ jiffies which should prevent
the soft-lockup from being reported.
