kexec: add cond_resched into kimage_alloc_crash_control_pages

A soft lookup will occur when I run trinity in syscall kexec_load.  the
corresponding stack information is as follows.

  BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [trinity-c6:13859]
  Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks
  CPU: 6 PID: 13859 Comm: trinity-c6 Tainted: G           O L ----V-------   3.10.0-327.28.3.35.zhongjiang.x86_64 #1

the first time allocation of control pages may take too much time
because crash_res.end can be set to a higher value.  we need to add
cond_resched to avoid the issue.

The patch have been tested and above issue is not appear.
