At the end of a device replace we must go over all the chunk maps and update their stripes to point to the target device instead of the source device. We iterate over the chunk maps while holding a write lock and we never reschedule, which can result in monopolizing a CPU for too long and blocking readers for too long (it's a rw lock, non-blocking). So improve on this by rescheduling if necessary. This is safe because at this point we are holding the chunk mutex, which means no new chunks can be allocated and therefore we don't risk missing a new chunk map that covers a range behind the last one we processed before rescheduling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
