This patch fix a lost wake-up problem caused by the race between mca_cannibalize_lock and bch_cannibalize_unlock. Consider two processes, A and B. Process A is executing mca_cannibalize_lock, while process B takes c->btree_cache_alloc_lock and is executing bch_cannibalize_unlock. The problem happens that after process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait. In this timeslice process B executes wake_up, but after that process A executes prepare_to_wait and set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Then process A goes to sleep but no one will wake up it. This problem may cause bcache device to dead.
