3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8612ed0d97abcf1c016d34755b7cf2060de71963 upstream.

Calling the WDIOC_GETSTATUS & WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS and twice will cause a
interruptible deadlock.
