Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netdevsim: use cond_resched() in nsim_dev_trap_report_work()

I am still seeing many syzbot reports hinting that syzbot
might fool nsim_dev_trap_report_work() with hundreds of ports [1]

Lets use cond_resched(), and system_unbound_wq
instead of implicit system_wq.
