I bisected the regression and it is introduced with this Linux 3.19-rc1 commit.

e22b886a8a43b147e1994a9f970f678fc0df2033 is the first bad commit
commit e22b886a8a43b147e1994a9f970f678fc0df2033
Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    sched/wait: Add might_sleep() checks

    Add more might_sleep() checks, suppose someone put a wait_event() like
    thing in a wait loop..

    Can't put might_sleep() in ___wait_event() because there's the locked
    primitives which call ___wait_event() with locks held.
