jbd2: check need_resched() when skipping busy checkpoint buffers
journal_shrink_one_cp_list() skips busy checkpoint buffers when called
with JBD2_SHRINK_BUSY_SKIP. The continue statement on this path also
skips the need_resched() check at the end of the loop body.
Consequently, when a checkpoint list contains mostly busy buffers, the
shrinker can walk the entire list while holding journal->j_list_lock,
even when a reschedule has been requested. Large checkpoint lists under
memory pressure can therefore cause long lock hold times and leave other
CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, resulting in soft lockups or RCU stalls.
Route the busy-buffer path through the need_resched() check so that the
shrinker can release j_list_lock and reschedule promptly, restoring
parity with the clean-buffer path, which already checks need_resched().
This does not change which checkpoint buffers are eligible for removal.
