Hi,

When rq_qos_wait() is first introduced, it is easy to understand. But
with some bug fixes applied, it is not easy for newcomers to understand
the whole logic under those fixes. In this patch, rq_qos_wait() is
refactored and more comments are added for better understanding. There
are 4 points for the improvement:

     1) Use waitqueue_active() instead of wq_has_sleeper() to eliminate
        unnecessary memory barrier in wq_has_sleeper() which is supposed
        to be used in waker side. In this case, we do need the barrier.
        So use the cheaper one to locklessly test for waiters on the queue.

     2) There is already a macro DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() to declare a
        wait_queue_entry with a specified waking function. But there is not
        a counterpart for initializing one wait_queue_entry with a
        specified waking function. So introducing init_wait_func() for
        this, which also could be used elsewhere (like filemap.c). It can
        be used in rq_qos_wait() to use default_wake_function() to wake up
        waiters, which could remove ->task field from rq_qos_wait_data.

I think it's better to cook point 2 as a seperate patch.

Whether or not, this patch LGTM.

     3) Remove acquire_inflight_cb() logic for the first waiter out of the
        while loop to make the code clear.

     4) Add more comments to explain how to sync with different waiters and
        the waker.
