Don't do this, just pass in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE (or TASK_NORMAL)
whatever you like/need.

Don't fudge it by over-loading TASK_RUNNING (aka. 0).

Again, why wreck an entirely reasonable return code and break with the
rest of the API.

So I'm fine with adding wait_for_completion_timeout_state(), but make it
look and smell like wait_for_completion_timeout() and use a proper
state, like wake_up_state().

IOW:

unsigned long __sched 
wait_for_completion_timeout_state(struct completion *x, 
				  unsigned long timeout,
				  unsigned int state)
{
	return wait_for_common(x, timeout, state);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(wait_for_completion_timeout_state);
