Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: fix sched WARNING "do not call blocking ops when
 !TASK_RUNNING"

When using CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, the scheduler nicely points out
that we're calling sleeping primitives within the wait_event loop, which
means we might clobber the task state:

[   10.831289] do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffc00026b610>]
[   10.845531] ------------[ cut here ]------------

To avoid this, we should (a la https://lwn.net/Articles/628628/) use the
wait_woken() function, which avoids the nested sleeping while still
handling races between waiting / wake-events.

v2:
 * Only add/remove to/from the wait queue once per call
 * Restore interruptability via explicit signal_pending() call
 * Refactor to avoid nested loop

Note that I did not remove the first (semi-redundant) test for
!indio_dev->info, so as to avoid disturbing the error codes used here.
