And __wait_event_interruptible_locked() too.

BTW it is buggy anyway, it needs the

	-	__add_wait_queue_tail(&(wq), &__wait);
	+	if (exclusive)
	+		__add_wait_queue_tail(&(wq), &__wait);
	+	else
	+		__add_wait_queue((&(wq), &__wait);

and in fact it should use __add_wait_queue_exclusive() so that we
can remove another "if (exclusive)" but this is off-topic.

Yes, I considered this option, but to me the addtional finish_wait()
looks simpler.

And, if you agree with this change I will try to change __wait_event()
as well and kill abort_exclusive_wait().

And in this case we certainly do not want to check the "condition" with
q->lock held, because this would mean that "condition" won't be able to
take this lock.
