With CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and without CONFIG_PREEMPT, it can
happen that we get RCU stalls detected when booting up.

The issue becomes visible when having a lot of memory (e.g., 4TB)
assigned to a single NUMA node - a system that can easily be created
using QEMU. Inside VMs on a hypervisor with quite some memory
overcommit, this is fairly easy to trigger.

Adding the cond_resched() makes RCU happy.
