btrfs: avoid monopolizing a core when activating a swap file


commit 2c8507c63f5498d4ee4af404a8e44ceae4345056 upstream.

This commit re-attempts the backport of the change to the linux-6.1.y
branch. Commit bb8e287f ("btrfs: avoid monopolizing a core when
activating a swap file") on this branch was reverted.

During swap activation we iterate over the extents of a file and we can
have many thousands of them, so we can end up in a busy loop monopolizing
a core. Avoid this by doing a voluntary reschedule after processing each
extent.
