Peter Zijlstra 32384effc1 sched/wait: Provide infrastructure to deal with nested blocking
[ Upstream commit 61ada528de ]

There are a few places that call blocking primitives from wait loops,
provide infrastructure to support this without the typical
task_struct::state collision.

We record the wakeup in wait_queue_t::flags which leaves
task_struct::state free to be used by others.
