Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 070/168] nfs: Don't busy-wait on SIGKILL in __nfs_iocounter_wait

3.16.7-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Jeffery <djeffery@...hat.com>

commit 92a56555bd576c61b27a5cab9f38a33a1e9a1df5 upstream.

If a SIGKILL is sent to a task waiting in __nfs_iocounter_wait,
it will busy-wait or soft lockup in its while loop.
nfs_wait_bit_killable won't sleep, and the loop won't exit on
the error return.

Stop the busy-wait by breaking out of the loop when
nfs_wait_bit_killable returns an error.
