Hello Ingo,

This patch series addresses an issue that my SRP driver test software 
can trigger reproducibly, namely that __wait_on_bit_lock() hangs. Please 
review and apply these patches whenever this is convenient for you. The 
changes compared to the first version of this series are:
* Reworked the abort_exclusive_wait() changes.
* Added two patches, namely a patch that introduces a local variable and
   a patch (nr. 3) that eliminates again the spurious wakeups introduced
   by patch 1.

These patches have been tested on top of kernel v4.7 with kernel 
debugging enabled (detection of list corruption, lockdep, SLUB 
debugging, kmemleak, ...).

See also https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/3/289.

Thanks,

Bart.
