Subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm/scheduler: Don't call wait_event_killable for signaled process.

Avoid calling wait_event_killable when you are possibly being called
from get_signal routine since in that case you end up in a deadlock
where you are alreay blocked in singla processing any trying to wait
on a new signal.
