Vijay reported that the "unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest
triggers the softlockup detector.

Actual SGX systems have 128GB of enclave memory or more.  The
"unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest creates one enclave which
consumes all of the enclave memory on the system. Tearing down such a
large enclave takes around a minute, most of it in the loop where
the EREMOVE instruction is applied to each individual 4k enclave page.

Spending one minute in a loop triggers the softlockup detector.

Add a cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and placate
the softlockup detector.
