selinux: conditionally reschedule in mls_convert_context while loading selinux policy
On a slow machine (with debugging enabled), upgrading selinux policy may take
a considerable amount of time. Long enough that the softlockup detector
gets triggered.
The backtrace looks like this..

That seems to do the trick. Tested by downgrading and re-upgrading selinux-policy-targeted.
