[PATCH 3.12 159/182] locks: allow __break_lease to sleep even when break_time is 0

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 4991a628a789dc5954e98e79476d9808812292ec upstream.

A fl->fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code
that basically means "never break the lease". knfsd uses this to ensure
that leases don't disappear out from under it.

Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value
to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going
to sleep at all. This causes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and
causes soft lockups.

Fix this by ensuring that we pass a minimum value of 1 as a timeout
instead.
