[patch 2/3] dm-writecache: convert wait queue to wake_up_process

[Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If there's just one process that can wait on a queue, we can use
wake_up_process. According to Linus, it is safe to call wake_up_process
on a process even if the process may be doing something else.
