When CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS is set to a big number, kfence
kunit-test-case test_gfpzero will eat up nearly all the CPU's resources
and rcu_stall is reported as the following log which is cut from a
physical server.

  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
  rcu:  68-....: (14422 ticks this GP) idle=6ce/1/0x4000000000000002
  softirq=592/592 fqs=7500 (t=15004 jiffies g=10677 q=20019)
  Task dump for CPU 68:

To avoid rcu_stall and unacceptable latency, a schedule point is
added to test_gfpzero.
