Subject: [PATCH] audit: fix possible soft lockup in __audit_inode_child()
Git-commit: b59bc6e37237e37eadf50cd5de369e913f524463
References: git-fixes
Patch-mainline: v6.6-rc1
Tracefs or debugfs maybe cause hundreds to thousands of PATH records,
too many PATH records maybe cause soft lockup.
For example:
1. CONFIG_KASAN=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n
2. auditctl -a exit,always -S open -k key
3. sysctl -w kernel.watchdog_thresh=5
4. mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test
There may be a soft lockup as follows:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 7s! [mkdir:15498]
Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

Therefore, we add cond_resched() to __audit_inode_child() to fix it.
