    sbitmap: fix possible io hung due to lost wakeup
    
    [ Upstream commit 040b83fcecfb86f3225d3a5de7fd9b3fbccf83b4 ]
    
    There are two problems can lead to lost wakeup:
    
    1) invalid wakeup on the wrong waitqueue:
    
    For example, 2 * wake_batch tags are put, while only wake_batch threads
    are woken:
    
    __sbq_wake_up
     atomic_cmpxchg -> reset wait_cnt
                            __sbq_wake_up -> decrease wait_cnt
                            ...
                            __sbq_wake_up -> wait_cnt is decreased to 0 again
                             atomic_cmpxchg
                             sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase wake_index
                             wake_up_nr -> wake up and waitqueue might be empty
     sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase again, one waitqueue is skipped
     wake_up_nr -> invalid wake up because old wakequeue might be empty
    
    To fix the problem, increasing 'wake_index' before resetting 'wait_cnt'.
    
    2) 'wait_cnt' can be decreased while waitqueue is empty
    
    As pointed out by Jan Kara, following race is possible:
    
    CPU1                            CPU2
    __sbq_wake_up                    __sbq_wake_up
     sbq_wake_ptr()                  sbq_wake_ptr() -> the same
     wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return()
     /* decreased to 0 */
     sbq_index_atomic_inc()
     /* move to next waitqueue */
     atomic_set()
     /* reset wait_cnt */
     wake_up_nr()
     /* wake up on the old waitqueue */
                                     wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return()
                                     /*
                                      * decrease wait_cnt in the old
                                      * waitqueue, while it can be
                                      * empty.
                                      */
    
    Fix the problem by waking up before updating 'wake_index' and
    'wait_cnt'.
    
    With this patch, noted that 'wait_cnt' is still decreased in the old
    empty waitqueue, however, the wakeup is redirected to a active waitqueue,
    and the extra decrement on the old empty waitqueue is not handled.
