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.. > BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 23s!

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