drain_freelist() can be called with a very large number of slabs to free,
such as for kmem_cache_shrink(), or depending on various settings of the
slab cache when doing periodic reaping.

If there is a potentially long list of slabs to drain, periodically
schedule to ensure we aren't saturating the cpu for too long.
