I would very much prefer cond_resched() at a more appropriate place.

touch_nmi_watchdog() does not fundamentally solve the issue, as some
process is holding one cpu for a very long time.

Probably in addrconf_ifdown(), as if you have 100,000 IPv6 addresses on
a single netdev, this function might also trigger a soft lockup, without
playing with 4096 vlans...

it looks like not enough, I still got this calltrace,
