[PATCH v3 1/5] nvdimm: virtio_pmem: always wake -ENOSPC waiters

[Li Chen]

virtio_pmem_host_ack() reclaims virtqueue descriptors with
virtqueue_get_buf(). The -ENOSPC waiter wakeup is tied to completing the
returned token. If token completion is skipped for any reason, reclaimed
descriptors may not wake a waiter and the submitter may sleep forever
waiting for a free slot. Always wake one -ENOSPC waiter for each virtqueue
completion before touching the returned token.

v2->v3:
- Split out the waiter wakeup ordering change from READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
  updates (now patch 2/5), per Pankaj's suggestion.
