[PATCH 3.2 19/77] usblp: do not set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before lock

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>

commit 19cd80a214821f4b558560ebd76bfb2c38b4f3d8 upstream.

It is not permitted to set task state before lock. usblp_wwait sets
the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calls mutex_lock_interruptible.
Upon return from that function, the state will be TASK_RUNNING again.

This is clearly a bug and a warning is generated with LOCKDEP too:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5109 at kernel/sched/core.c:7404 __might_sleep+0x7d/0x90()
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffffa0c588d0>] usblp_wwait+0xa0/0x310 [usblp]

Commit 7f477358e2384c54b190cc3b6ce28277050a041b (usblp: Implement the
ENOSPC convention) moved the set prior locking. So move it back after
the lock.
