mm/kmemleak: prevent soft lockup in first object iteration loop of kmemleak_scan()

Browse Source 
The first RCU-based object iteration loop has to modify the object count. 
So we cannot skip taking the object lock.

One way to avoid soft lockup is to insert occasional cond_resched() call
into the loop.  This cannot be done while holding the RCU read lock which
is to protect objects from being freed.  However, taking a reference to
the object will prevent it from being freed.  We can then do a
cond_resched() call after every 64k objects safely.
