Description

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

bpf: Fix RCU stall in bpf_fd_array_map_clear()

Add a missing cond_resched() in bpf_fd_array_map_clear() loop.

For PROG_ARRAY maps with many entries this loop calls
prog_array_map_poke_run() per entry which can be expensive, and
without yielding this can cause RCU stalls under load:

rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
