The first RCU-based object iteration loop has to modify the object count. So we cannot skip taking the object lock. One way to avoid soft lockup is to insert occasional cond_resched() call into the loop. This cannot be done while holding the RCU read lock which is to protect objects from being freed. However, taking a reference to the object will prevent it from being freed. We can then do a cond_resched() call after every 64k objects safely.
