Subject: iio: fix sched WARNING "do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING"

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org>

commit fcf68f3c0bb2a541aa47a2a38b8939edf84fd529 upstream.

When using CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, the scheduler nicely points out
that we're calling sleeping primitives within the wait_event loop, which
means we might clobber the task state:

To avoid this, we should (a la https://lwn.net/Articles/628628/) use the
wait_woken() function, which avoids the nested sleeping while still
handling races between waiting / wake-events.
