[RFC/PATCH 6/5] rt: PI-workqueue: wait_on_work() fixup

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

Subject: rt: PI-workqueue: wait_on_work() fixup

Oleg noticed that the new wait_on_work() barrier does not properly interact
with the nesting barrier.

The problem is that a wait_on_work() targeted at a worklet in a nested list
will complete too late.

Fix this by using a wait_queue instead.

[ will be folded into the previous patch on next posting ]
