Symlink would block pylance from working

[maple3142]

Type: Bug

1. In an empty folder, create hello.py:

import os

print('hello')

2. Open vscode at that folder and pylance works fine (hover works)
3. In terminal, create a symlink by ln -s / test
4. Reload vscode
5. Hover no longer works and you can see pylance is in D state in htop (probably due to high IO)

Wondering if it is possible to tell pylance to stop following some symlinks as vscode's search.followSymlinks doesn't appear to work.
