There was reported hang warning when using dm-integrity on the top of loop device on XFS on a rotational disk. The warning was triggered because flush on the loop device was too slow. There's no easy way to reduce the latency, so I made a patch that shuts the warning up. There's already a function blk_wait_io that avoids the hung task warning. This commit moves this function from block/blk.h to kernel/sched/completion.c, renames it to wait_for_completion_long_io (because it is not dependent on the block layer at all) and uses it in dm-io instead of wait_for_completion_io.
