[patch 4/5] sched: Switch wait_task_inactive to schedule_hrtimeout()

[Thomas Gleixner]

When we force thread hard and soft interrupts the startup of ksoftirqd
would hang in kthread_bind() when wait_task_inactive() calls
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() because there is no softirq yet
which will wake us up.
