[PATCH] pcmcia: fix a boot time warning in pcmcia cs code

From: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov
Date: Mon Mar 30 2015 - 07:34:09 EST


During bootup pcmcia (pccardd) code enforces the following warning
backtrace:

do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<c0319e74>] pccardd+0xb8/0x3fc

---[ end trace fd94911637eed4ba ]---

This happens due to kthread trying to lock mutex in a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state. Limit TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task state to the schedule() call only,
so that the rest of the code runs in TASK_RUNNING state.
