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

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().
