Subject: [PATCH 4.18 047/171] fuse: fix blocked_waitq wakeup

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit 908a572b80f6e9577b45e81b3dfe2e22111286b8 upstream.

Using waitqueue_active() is racy.  Make sure we issue a wake_up()
unconditionally after storing into fc->blocked.  After that it's okay to
optimize with waitqueue_active() since the first wake up provides the
necessary barrier for all waiters, not the just the woken one.
