When a process exits, it might spend a lot of time in close_files() closing
thousand of files.
This is bad for latency, and in some cases can trigger 'BUG: soft lockup
detected on CPU#0!'

This patch makes sure a cond_resched() call is done every 32 (or 64) files
closed. This also helps reducing number of files waiting in RCU queues for
final freeing as call_rcu() might have called force_quiescent_state()
