Will do...

OTOH, now that I look, I'm not sure we really need a *_unsafe variant
here at all.

File locking is somewhat different in that we're expected to sleep in
the kernel, and I don't think we hold any kernel locks that are the
usual worry here (i_rwsem and the like). So we might can just use
freezable_schedule_timeout here.

I'll see if I can experiment with that before the next posting. It'd be
nice to eliminate one of the unsafe sleep callsites.
