Yes, you're right, since both error or success means that a request is
complete. We should act the same way for error as for success. Thanks for
catching this.

Because that is not part of the protocol - calling scm_waitq_flag_handler(wq, flags)
would result in a completion being freed, meaning a sleeping call would be
woken up, which is not what we want. When a WAITQ_WAKE is received, the
action to be taken is to immediately respond with a wq_wake_ack() and nothing
else.
