With this change, the waiter is woken up once it is STATE_READY and it does not need to loop on SMP if it is still in STATE_PENDING. In the timeout case we still need to grab the info->lock to verify the state. This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the STATE_PENDING -> STATE_READY change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker. Additionally, this patch micro-optimizes wq_sleep by using the cheaper cousin of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTABLE) as we will block no matter what, thus get rid of the implied barrier.
