Subject: NFSv4.1: Fix a race where CB_NOTIFY_LOCK fails to wake a waiter

From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com>

commit b7dbcc0e433f0f61acb89ed9861ec996be4f2b38 upstream.

nfs4_retry_setlk() sets the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE within the
same region protected by the wait_queue's lock after checking for a
notification from CB_NOTIFY_LOCK callback.  However, after releasing that
lock, a wakeup for that task may race in before the call to
freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() and set TASK_WAKING, then
freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() will set the state back to
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before the task will sleep.  The result is that the task
will sleep for the entire duration of the timeout.

Since we've already set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in the locked section, just use
freezable_schedule_timout() instead.
