The wait calls in ll_statahead_thread are done in a service thread, and
should probably *not* contribute to load.

The one in osc_extent_wait is perhaps tough - It is called both from user
threads & daemon threads depending on the situation.  The effect of adding
that to load average could be significant for some activities, even when
no user threads are busy.  Thoughts from other Lustre people would be
welcome here.


Similar issues for osc_object_invalidate.

(If no one else speaks up, my vote is no contribution to load for those
OSC waits.)

Otherwise this one looks good...
