[ Upstream commit 6bc6e6b27524304aadb9c04611ddb1c84dd7617a ]
The ref_scale_shutdown() kthread/function uses wait_event() to wait for
the refscale test to complete. However, although the read-side tests
are normally extremely fast, there is no law against specifying a very
large value for the refscale.loops module parameter or against having
a slow read-side primitive. Either way, this might well trigger the
hung-task timeout.
This commit therefore replaces those wait_event() calls with calls to
wait_event_idle(), which do not trigger the hung-task timeout.
