There's inconsistency with some wakeups between using rreq->waitq (a private
waitqueue) and using clear_and_wake_up_bit() (a shared global waitqueue).
The reason I didn't get round to posting the patches on this branch yet is
that they *ought* to fix the problem, but Steve French still sees an
occasional hang with cifs - but only in his automated testing thing, and we
haven't tracked it down yet.
