If the usermode app does an ioctl over this serial device by
using TIOCMIWAIT, then the code will wait by setting the current
task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and then calling schedule().
This will be woken up by the qt2_process_modem_status on URB
completion when the port_extra->shadowMSR is set to the new
modem status.
However, this could result in a lost wakeup scenario due to a race
in the logic in the qt2_ioctl(TIOCMIWAIT) loop and the URB completion
for new modem status in qt2_process_modem_status.
Due to this, the usermode app's task will continue to sleep despite a
change in the modem status.
