[PATCH] UBI: Replace yield() with cond_resched()

From: Richard Weinberger
Date: Tue May 08 2012 - 04:26:51 EST


The comment above yield()'s definition says:
* If you want to use yield() to wait for something, use wait_event().
* If you want to use yield() to be 'nice' for others, use cond_resched().
* If you still want to use yield(), do not!

The yield() usage of UBI really looks like the "be nice for others" case,
so use cond_resched().
