dma-mapping: benchmark: Don't starve others when doing the test

[ Upstream commit 54624ac ]

The test thread will start N benchmark kthreads and then schedule out
until the test time finished and notify the benchmark kthreads to stop.
The benchmark kthreads will keep running until notified to stop.
There's a problem with current implementation when the benchmark
kthreads number is equal to the CPUs on a non-preemptible kernel:
since the scheduler will balance the kthreads across the CPUs and
when the test time's out the test thread won't get a chance to be
scheduled on any CPU then cannot notify the benchmark kthreads to stop.

This can be easily reproduced on a VM (simulated with 16 CPUs) with
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY:

Solve this by adding scheduling point in the kthread loop,
so if there're other threads in the system they may have
a chance to run, especially the thread to notify the test
end. However this may degrade the test concurrency so it's
recommended to run this on an idle system.
