audit: fix possible soft lockup in __audit_inode_child()

Browse source 
Tracefs or debugfs maybe cause hundreds to thousands of PATH records,
too many PATH records maybe cause soft lockup.

For example:
  1. CONFIG_KASAN=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n
  2. auditctl -a exit,always -S open -k key
  3. sysctl -w kernel.watchdog_thresh=5
  4. mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test

There may be a soft lockup as follows:
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 7s! [mkdir:15498]
  Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

Therefore, we add cond_resched() to __audit_inode_child() to fix it.
