4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ commit d8a706414af4827fc0b4b1c0c631c607351938b9 upstream. get_unlocked_entry() uses an exclusive wait because it is guaranteed to eventually obtain the lock and follow on with an unlock+wakeup cycle. The wait_entry_unlocked() path does not have the same guarantee. Rather than open-code an extra wakeup, just switch to a non-exclusive wait.
