Subject: jffs2: remove from wait queue after schedule()
From: Li Zefan <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3ead9578443b66ddb3d50ed4f53af8a0c0298ec5 upstream.
@wait is a local variable, so if we don't remove it from the wait queue
list, later wake_up() may end up accessing invalid memory.
This was spotted by eyes.
