Since we already have __add_wait_queue(), __add_wait_queue_tail() and
__remove_wait_queue() (which all means "locked"), and while I agree in
having the exclusive-add wrapped into a function, I much better prefer a:

static inline void __add_wait_queue_excl(wait_queue_head_t *head,
wait_queue_t *new)
{
new->flags |= WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE;
__add_wait_queue(head, new);
}

The patch you posted introduces a different naming, which leaves all the
other __*() untouched, and wraps the already one-liner __remove_wait_queue()
with yet another one-liner.
