Peter Zijlstra e23738a730 sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleeps
inotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on
task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of
actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop
state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume
TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock).

Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff,
which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the
task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.
