KVM: SVM: Periodically schedule when unregistering regions on destroy
There may be many encrypted regions that need to be unregistered when a SEV VM is destroyed. This can lead to soft lockups. For example, on a host running 4.15: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#206 stuck for 11s! [t_virtual_machi:194348] CPU: 206 PID: 194348 Comm: t_virtual_machi RIP: 0010:free_unref_page_list+0x105/0x170 ...

Periodically schedule if necessary. This still holds kvm->lock across the resched, but since this only happens when the VM is destroyed this is assumed to be acceptable.
