The PS3 notification interrupt and kthread use a hacked up completion to communicate. Since we're wanting to change the completion implementation and this is abuse anyway, replace it with a simple rcuwait since there is only ever the one waiter. AFAICT the kthread uses TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to not increase loadavg, kthreads cannot receive signals by default and this one doesn't look different. Use TASK_IDLE instead.
