net: bridge: vlan: Add a schedule point during VLAN processing

User space can request to delete a range of VLANs from a bridge slave in
one netlink request. For each deleted VLAN the FDB needs to be traversed
in order to flush all the affected entries.

If a large range of VLANs is deleted and the number of FDB entries is
large or the FDB lock is contented, it is possible for the kernel to
loop through the deleted VLANs for a long time. In case preemption is
disabled, this can result in a soft lockup.

Fix this by adding a schedule point after each VLAN is deleted to yield
the CPU, if needed. This is safe because the VLANs are traversed in
process context.
