3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 908a572b80f6e9577b45e81b3dfe2e22111286b8 upstream.
Using waitqueue_active() is racy. Make sure we issue a wake_up()
unconditionally after storing into fc->blocked. After that it's okay to
optimize with waitqueue_active() since the first wake up provides the
necessary barrier for all waiters, not the just the woken one.
