[JFFS2] Use yield() between GC passes in background thread.

The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.

Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.

By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.
