dm kcopyd: avoid softlockup in run_complete_job

Browse source 
It was reported that softlockups occur when using dm-snapshot ontop of
slow (rbd) storage.  E.g.:

[ 4047.990647] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 22s! [kworker/10:23:26177]

[ 4048.034233] Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

Fix this by calling cond_resched() after run_complete_job()'s callout to
the dm_kcopyd_notify_fn (which is dm-snap.c:copy_callback in the above
trace).
