Lets add the other part of this too (the __wait_event)

#define __wait_event(wq, condition) 					\
do {									\
	DEFINE_WAIT(__wait);						\
									\
	for (;;) {							\
		prepare_to_wait(&wq, &__wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);	\
		if (condition)						\
			break;						\
		schedule();						\
	}								\
	finish_wait(&wq, &__wait);					\
} while (0)

So if the condition happens there, it will be checked again up above in
__wait_event.
