With the ltlk and spkout drivers, the index read function, i.e.
in_nowait, is getting called from the read_all_doc mechanism, from
the timer softirq:

We thus should not schedule() at all, even with timeout == 0, this
crashes the kernel. We can however use try_wait_for_completion()
instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(0).
