That's a tricky situation. linux/sched.h includes indirectly
linux/completion.h which includes linux/wait.h.
By including sched.h in wait.h, the side effect is completion.h will
then include a blank wait.h file and trigger a compilation error every
time wait.h is included by any file.

It does not affect all files include wait.h because TASK_* macros are
used with #define statements only. So it has no effect unless some
file tries to use a macro which used TASK_*. It seems the usual on
kernel is to include both wait.h and sched.h when necessary.
IMO your patch is fine.
