From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>
A wait_event call with a stack local wait_queue_head_t structure that is
used to do the wake up for the wait_event is inherently racy. After the
wait_event finished the wake_up call might not have completed yet.
Replace the stack local wait_queue_head_t in tape_do_io and
tape_do_io_interruptible with a per device wait queue.
