Driver does not detect a new CQE (completion queue entry) if a thread receives the wakup when it is in TASK_RUNNING state. Fix is to set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE while holding the fp_work_lock. Also, Use __set_current_task() since it is now set inside a spinlock with synchronization. Two other related optimizations: 1. After we exit the while (!kthread_should_stop()) loop, use __set_current_state() since synchronization is no longer needed. 2. Remove set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after schedule() since it should always be TASK_RUNNING after schedule().
