Subject: [PATCH] CXL: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blocking

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@....ibm.com>

If afu_read() returned due to a signal or the AFU file descriptor being
opened non-blocking it would not call finish_wait() before returning,
which could lead to a crash later when something else wakes up the wait
queue.

This patch restructures the wait logic to ensure that the cleanup is
done correctly.

Resending with correct whitespace as my mailer decided to replace tabs with
spaces on the last try.
