wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will set the state of the current
task to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This
means that we will try to accquire the mutex while already in a
sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving the following
warning:

I have already tested in my environment and the warning goes
away for me with this patch. But appreciate further testing
and review feedback on the patch.
Thanks

ChangeLog
---------
v1 -> v2
