+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2227093 +++
Description of problem:
Import dispatches a task-per-repository. For large imports, with large repositories, this means that Pulp can't do anything else until the import is finished or nearly so, as all workers are busy importing repositories.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.12
How reproducible: 100%

The Pulp upstream bug status is at closed. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
Thanks ggainey and egolov for the help on this, after the discussion I've created another BZ to track this installer support/fix BZ 2233490. Hence we're good to verify this.
VERIFIED.
Tested on Satellite 6.12.5 Snap 2.0
Version: python39-pulpcore-3.18.25-1.el8pc.noarch
Steps and observations:
1. Sync'ed 2*available pulpcore-workers, created and published the CV, and export a content view version
2. Create a new org, upload manifest and run the content import with IMPORT_WORKERS_PERCENT setting.
3. When IMPORT_WORKERS_PERCENT isn't set in /etc/pulp/settings.py so it is default IMPORT_WORKERS_PERCENT=100, then no syncs were working while import was going on, and after import task completed repo sync worked nearly after an hour for small repos sync.
4. When IMPORT_WORKERS_PERCENT=50 is set in /etc/pulp/settings.py, then while import task is going on, which will utilize half of the available workers and syncs also works along with import without waiting for import tasks to finish.
