When superblock has lots of inodes without any pagecache (like is the case for /proc), drop_pagecache_sb() will iterate through all of them without dropping sb->s_inode_list_lock which can lead to softlockups (one of our customers hit this). Fix the problem by going to the slow path and doing cond_resched() in case the process needs rescheduling.
