This patchset changes the wait api to use freezable_schedule when
possible and adds a new wait_event_freezable_hrtimeout method.
wait_event_freezable_hrtimeout is then used to greatly simplify
handle_vsoc_cond_wait in the android vsoc driver.
This reduces the size of the vsoc driver and allows for potential
performance gain during freeze in the wait api.
This is a follow up of my previous patch "sched/wait: introduce
wait_event_freezable_hrtimeout"[0]. More information related to the
performance gain by using freezable_schedule can be found in the
previous discussion[1].
