Subject: [PATCH-RT] Fix for sleeping function called from invalid context when running gdb

While running gdb on cyclictest on v3.2-rc2-rt3 I got the following error

[root@...rship ~]# [11887.443716] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid con

I found that there is a patch for this in v2.6.33.9-rt31 that I forward-ported
to v3.2-rc2-rt3

I believe that Thomas Gleixner is the original author, but I'm not sure.
Thomas - can you provide your signed-off-by if you are the author?

Forward-ported from v2.6.33.9-rt31 to v3.2-rc2-rt3
