[PATCH 1/4] Avoid taking waitqueue lock in dmapool

[Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>]

With one trivial change (taking the lock slightly earlier on wakeup
from schedule), all uses of the waitq are under the pool lock, so we
can use the locked (or __) versions of the wait queue functions, and
avoid the extra spinlock.
